Memory Component to Reportedly Account for 45 Percent Value of an iPhone Due to Supply Chain Issues

Apple is said to be heading into one of its most challenging supply chain phases. According to a report, global memory shortage threatens to increase the cost of future iPhones significantly. The primary culprit is likely to be the memory component, which, historically, accounted for a relatively small portion of smartphone manufacturing costs. However, it may reportedly account for nearly 45 percent of an iPhone’s total value by 2027, as demand for AI data centres continues to rise.
