Chip Suppliers Gain Leverage Over Apple
Original: The Beleaguered Chip Sellers Getting Their Revenge on Apple
Memory chip suppliers that struggled through years of weak demand and price pressure are now in a stronger negotiating position with Apple, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The shift comes as AI-driven demand for memory tightens supply, allowing chipmakers to charge more and push back on terms that Apple historically dictated. Commenters are discussing how the balance of power between the iPhone maker and its semiconductor vendors is reversing.
Why now: AI-fueled memory demand is flipping bargaining power toward chip suppliers just as Apple needs chips for new iPhone features
