TL;DR

• The demand for AI is fueling a shortage in memory chips for smartphones.
• The shortage is causing the price of memory chips to skyrocket.
• Samsung is reportedly considering raising its smartphone prices due to the increased costs.

If you’re looking to buy a new phone in the near future, you might want to make that purchase sooner rather than later. Samsung may raise its prices soon, and it seems there’s a good chance that other manufacturers will follow suit. Why might your next phone cost you more? The reason is related to the AI boom and memory.
