🚨 Apple. Xbox. Steam. The "Components Crisis" Is Here. Apple just hiked MacBook and iPad prices by nearly 20%. Xbox raised console prices for the second time in under a year, now 30-40% higher than last summer. And they expect memory costs to double again by 2027. Tim Cook called it "unavoidable." Apple said they've "never seen a component price increase this much, this quickly." The culprit? AI data centers are devouring global memory supply. Everyone else is fighting for what's left. For EMS providers and contract manufacturers, the message is clear: Every component you lose, to moisture damage, expired floor life, or inventory chaos, now costs twice what it did a year ago. This is exactly why intelligent storage has become a margin protection strategy.
