Why the iPhone is about to get more expensive
When Apple releases the new generation of iPhone next week, it is expected to face price increases due to the price hikes by supply chain giants. This sign of price increases indicates that soaring memory costs have become an inevitable reality, and there are no signs of a relief in memory shortages. Data from AlphaSense shows that terms related to “memory prices” and “memory shortages” appeared in 473 company documents last quarter. This shortage reverses the trend of declining memory costs over the past few decades, a trend that previously helped consumer electronics improve performance while maintaining relatively stable prices.
