Apple Reportedly Cuts Some iPhone 17 Production as Memory Costs Rise
SMRTR summary
Apple is cutting roughly one-third of iPhone 17 base model production after a global memory chip shortage, driven by AI companies buying up manufacturing capacity, pushed the price of a 12GB memory module to around $145. This forced Apple to raise Mac and iPad prices last month, and iPhones may be next. Pro models are unaffected due to higher margins, but the $799 standard iPhone faces serious pressure.
