Artificial intelligence has not suffered less criticism. A storm of criticism has surrounded AI since its inception. From eating jobs to polluting the environment, AI has been cited as one of the biggest threats to the future of human civilization as a whole. And in this situation, many people are finding new ‘reasons’ to criticize AI. It is believed that everything from smartphones (Smartphone Price Hike) to laptops are becoming expensive.

But why? What is the relationship with AI smartphone price increase? AI firms use them to train and operate ‘large language models’, coding agents and other tools, according to an all-India media source. The widespread use of artificial intelligence has led to an acute shortage of memory and storage chips. And as a result, their prices have skyrocketed. These same chips are also used in phones, laptops and gaming consoles. It is also used to transfer data and store information on the device. As a result, their prices will also increase due to the increase in the price of chips.

Apple CEO Tim Cook recently warned that iPhones, iPads, Macs – all could go up in price due to rising memory card prices. And this price increase is impossible to avoid. On the other hand, the memory chip market is mainly controlled by South Korea’s SK Hynisk, Samsung Electronics and America’s Micron. In the current scenario, the valuations of all the companies are increasing by leaps and bounds.

According to analysts, in fact, smartphone prices are increasing from November 2025 onwards. Even some models have almost doubled in price. But Apple is probably still safe in this situation because the price of the product is fixed in advance for a certain period of time. However, Tim Cook himself is seeing the ‘black cloud’ of price increase there.
