Artificial intelligence is consuming your phone's memory.

Tim Cook made a rare candid statement yesterday:

"Price hikes are now inevitable."

The reason?
Data centers running AI models are devouring memory chips from the market.

One Nvidia processor holds 288 GB of memory.
Your phone only has 8 GB.

But both are manufactured in the same factories.
Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron
have shifted production lines toward AI servers.

DRAM chip prices have risen 60% in a single quarter.
Micron has completely exited the consumer memory market.

Production capacity is sold out through the end of 2026.
Cook described the crisis as a "once-in-a-hundred-year flood."

The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro in September may come at a higher price.
Mac and iPad devices may see price increases before then.

As a consumer, you will pay the bill for the AI arms race.

The question:
Is this a temporary rise, or has the average consumer become last on the priority list...
