Briefings

Apple memory supplier SK Hynix warns of RAM and flash shortages persisting through 2030, keeping product prices high. Apple is one of 14 customers with priority orders, though the contract does not guarantee protection against price increases driven by supply-demand imbalances.

Key points

• SK Hynix, a key Apple memory supplier, has issued a warning that RAM and flash memory shortages are expected to last through at least 2030.
• Apple is one of 14 customers who have locked in priority orders for memory products, but the contract does not protect against future price increases.

Context

Apple relies on SK Hynix for essential memory components, and the company's priority order status ensures continued supply but leaves price volatility open to market forces.

Limitations

Evidence covers only the 2026 timeframe and does not include historical data or future forecasts beyond the 2030 warning.
