iPhone manufacturing company Apple is struggling with memory chip crisis these days. According to the report, this is going to have an impact on the production of iPhones worldwide. The price of iPhone can be increased due to increase in supply chain cost, which means iPhones can become expensive in the coming few weeks. According to the report, the price of memory components used in iPhone has increased by up to 45%. Especially its big impact can be seen on the iPhone to be launched in 2027.
AI data center disturbed the supply chain
According to an industry report, the supply chain of memory components has been affected due to the huge demand for chips in AI data centers. Big tech companies are setting up their own AI data centers. Because of this, most chipmakers are making chips for data centers. The production of memory components used in smartphones, laptops, TVs etc. is decreasing, due to which the supply chain has been affected. However, the cost of memory component is only 10 to 15 percent of the overall cost of the smartphone. Due to chip shortage, Apple may now have to take a big decision.
Will the price of iPhone increase?
Recently, many Chinese brands including Samsung have increased the prices of their smartphones by 10 to 20 percent. This has also had a direct impact on smartphone sales. For the first time in India, the demand for smartphones has reached minus. Leaving aside flagship phones, its impact on the demand for mid and budget smartphones is clearly visible.
A report also says that Apple is going to handle the shortage of memory components in a different way. Instead of transferring the cost of the memory component directly to customers, the company can adjust it in other parts of the phone. At the same time, the company is also working on aggressive memory supply, so that there is no problem in its product line. Apple is going to launch iPhone 18 Pro series and iPhone Ultra (iPhone Fold) in September this year. At the same time, the company is also preparing to launch next generation MacBook and AI smart devices.
