Why are phones becoming expensive?
Before Apple, Chinese companies and Samsung have also increased the prices of many of their phones. Due to the continuously increasing prices of RAM and storage components, there was pressure on phone manufacturing companies to increase the prices. Due to the rapidly increasing demand for AI chips in the global market, chip manufacturers had reduced the production of RAM and storage. Due to this, smartphone companies started facing shortage of RAM and storage.
Not only smartphones, due to shortage of memory chips, the prices of pen drives have also increased almost double in India. The price of pen drives or USB drives of many brands sold in India has increased by 40 to 45 percent. Apart from smartphones, the main components of other electronic devices have become expensive. Because of this, electronics products are continuously becoming expensive.
