The ongoing RAM crisis is affecting every corner of the tech world, and even Apple, giant though it is, may soon feel knock on effects of AI's data center greed.

Despite those massive price hikes, supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple won't raise prices on the new iPhone 18 models that are expected to launch in September.
