That memory chips are scarce at the moment is hardly news that raises eyebrows these days. Even so, there appears to be a bit of desperation in the air that was not an elemental presence as recently as just a few weeks back. As a case in point, consider the latest tidbit: Google might procure memory chips from China's CXMT, upending the monopolistic dynamics in the memory sphere, and potentially opening a floodgate of similar deals. Google might tap China's upstart memory player, CXMT, as a hedge against the so-called Big 3: Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron According to the […]

Apple was, until recently, the last bastion of price stability, even as a tsunami of memory-induced price hikes has continued to sweep across wide swathes of the global consumer electronics sphere. Alas! No longer. Apple now appears to have surrendered to the inevitable price hikes after trying to swim against the tide for a few quarters. Apple's Tim Cook had warned that the June-ending quarter would see a "substantial" increase in memory costs, and now the company appears to be capitulating to the inevitable price hikes Apple's Tim Cook has just declared to the Wall Street Journal that price increases […]
