Memory pricing suggests iPhones could get even more expensive in 2027

Some reporting about the cost of DRAM for the next year indicates that Apple price increases aren't likely to stop anytime soon.

Memory pricing suggests iPhones could get even more expensive in 2027

Apple has reportedly agreed to a deal to pay $2.00 per gigabyte of dynamic random access memory (DRAM), a component crucial for the proper functioning of modern electronics. This is a significant increase from the previous price of $1.50 per GB, which has contributed to the recent surge in RAM prices, known as "RAMageddon." As a result, Apple's products, including the upcoming iPhone Duo priced at $1,999, may see even higher prices in 2027 and beyond.

While Apple may attempt to absorb these costs, this price increase could pressure consumers to purchase devices sooner rather than later. Ultimately, a resolution is likely to emerge in the future.
