Apple memory supplier expects price increases through at least 2030
SK Hynix, a key supplier of memory chips to Apple, has cautioned that RAM and flash memory shortages will persist until at least 2030, keeping prices elevated. Although Apple is reportedly one of 14 customers with priority order status, these preferential arrangements do not shield the company from price fluctuations driven by supply-demand dynamics. The warning suggests continued cost pressures on Apple's manufacturing and consumer pricing.
Key points
- Shortage period expected to extend through 2030
- Apple among 14 priority customers for SK Hynix
- Priority orders do not prevent price increases
- Supply constraints likely to keep memory prices high
