I upgraded very recently. I went to a Microcenter in Cambridge, MA. The moment I walked in the sales guy told me that the prices went up appreciably due to A) everyone is working from home and needing new equipment AND B) the shortage of parts due to China shut down. If you can wait I would think it would be worth it.

Yeah, also shipping times have been delayed quite considerably. I'll keep an eye on them.

I don't think Apple is raising the prices yet, though they sometimes do it silently (they usually raise the prices of upgrades so that the base price doesn't change)
