Apple Price Increases Turn Spotlight on Memory Chip Shortages After Goldman Trims Smartphone View
Goldman Sachs trimmed its global smartphone shipment estimates for 2026 and 2027 on Saturday after memory-chip costs jumped. The bank now expects volumes of 1.14 billion units in 2026 and 1.17 billion units in 2027, blaming tighter supply and high memory prices. The higher costs, Goldman said, are starting to show up in the prices of phones and laptops.
