iPhone Ultra might have hinge issues!!

During durability test Apple reportedly encountered:
- Hinge noise developing over time.
- Manufacturing tolerances that led to higher than expected defect rates.

Durability, hinge mechanics and reliability matter the most in foldables.

While majority audience might lean towards iPhone Ultra due to Apple

Apple is unlikely to increase the price of the base iPhone as much as its other products

While Macs, iPads, HomePods have become more expensive due to rising memory and storage costs

Apple is keeping the standard iPhone affordable

Why?

Because the base iPhone drives sales, brings new users into Apple's ecosystem, and attracts Android switchers

APPLE IS ASKING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FOR PERMISSION TO BUY MEMORY CHIPS FROM CHINA'S CXMT. 🍎🇺🇸🇨🇳

According to the Financial Times, Apple is lobbying US officials to allow it to source memory chips from CXMT, a Chinese chipmaker that has been placed on a Pentagon blacklist.

The move reportedly comes as memory chip prices continue to rise, putting pressure on Apple's costs

The idea that China's CXMT sells cheap DDR5 memory is outdated

Its prices are now close to Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron

Apple is reportedly interested in CXMT not because it's cheaper, but to diversify its suppliers and gain more negotiating power as memory shortages keep prices high

MICRON SAYS APPLE PLAYED A BIG ROLE IN TODAY'S MEMORY PRICE HIKES. 🍎📈

Micron says Apple pushed memory companies to sell chips at very low prices in 2022-23. That left many companies making little or no profit, so they stopped investing in making more memory.

Now, AI companies are buying most of the advanced memory chips, supply is low, and prices are going up.

This could eventually make iPhones, iPads, and Macs more expensive.
