Finding enough DRAM for millions of iPhones is proving difficult during the DRAM crisis.
However, the largest memory manufacturers are increasingly prioritizing server memory, as it is more lucrative than DRAM for the consumer market.
This DRAM shortage has already led to the MacBook Air ($1,250 on Amazon) no longer being available on short notice.
Since the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Ultra is likely just a few weeks away, this shortage of memory could either lead to a delayed launch or to limited availability of the new flagship smartphones at launch.
