Not sure I understand this statement. Apple is affected by DRAM price fixing the same as any other PC manufacturer.

- iwontberude 3mo agoAhh you are right, not sure where I got that from…
- doodlesdev 3mo agoThat's incorrect. Apple purchases RAM from all of these providers to produce their unified memory. They also rely on TSMC fabs for all of the chips their memory relies on. If they haven't doubled the prices of their machines, that just goes to show how fat of a profit margin they take on everyone that buys from them...
- iwontberude 3mo agoI stand corrected, thank you!
- doodlesdev 3mo agoYou're most welcome! I'll admit I did search before answering because you said Apple produced their memories so confidently LOL I guess they would love to produce it themselves, but for the average scenario the production reserves they have with Samsung already work well enough and prevent them from having to get into such a complicated industry.
- dabinat 3mo agoApple just increased their prices a few days ago, citing high memory costs.
- iwontberude 3mo agoI am an idiot, sorry for wasting your time with confident bullshit.
