$🚨 APPLE MAY HAVE JUST EXPOSED HOW EXTREME THE AI CHIP BUBBLE HAS BECOME. Apple is reportedly lobbying the White House for permission to buy memory chips from a Chinese company blacklisted by the Pentagon. Why? Because AI-driven chip prices have gotten so insane that even Apple can’t absorb the costs anymore. DeepSeek already showed the market you could get similar AI results for a fraction of the cost. If Apple starts moving toward cheaper Chinese chips too, the entire AI memory chip BUBBLE could start bursting.$

The AI boom is sending the costs of the electronics we use every day through the roof. Chipmakers are diverting limited resources from gaming consoles and laptops to meet the endless memory chip demands of hyperscale data centers—chasing AI industry profits at consumers’ expense. After OpenAI committed to buying 40% of all the chips in the world for their Stargate data center project, the cost of these RAM memory chips went soaring, leading to price increases on electronics across the board.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇨🇳 Apple is lobbying the Trump administration to approve memory chips from CXMT, a Chinese company blacklisted by the Pentagon over alleged military ties. Apple is now seeking lower-cost memory chips as AI-driven demand has pushed memory prices higher. Even if that means sourcing from a company the US has blacklisted over alleged military ties. Apple CEO Tim Cook went public blaming memory suppliers for the company's latest price hikes. Memory makers, however, tell a different story. Micron’s Chief Business Officer, Sadana, told the Wall Street Journal that "certain customers" pushed memory chip prices so low during the last downturn that Micron couldn’t invest enough in expanding production. Although he didn’t name Apple, he suggested those pricing demands led to today’s global memory shortage and the higher prices consumers are now paying.

Apple and Microsoft are raising prices on everything as chip costs continue to rise. "Apple gets criticized yesterday. They lose $270 billion a market cap because they announced they're raising their prices. So Macs and iPads roughly up 15% to 25%. Apple TV and Homepod products also increase. No increase yet that they've announced on iPhone, Apple Watch, or AirPods." "Xbox/Microsoft followed suit, and they raised their prices on everything." "Memory chips are ridiculously inflated right now, cause there's a shortage because the demands up. Data centers, more deluxe consoles, everything needs chips. They're not making enough of them fast enough so we have a shortage."

Trump’s tariffs are costing Americans up to $2,500 a year. Meanwhile, the corporations that passed the costs of tariffs onto consumers by raising prices are getting massive refunds. Apple got a $2.2 billion refund despite boasting a 50% profit margin after it jacked up iPad and MacBook prices. Trump’s illegal tariff scheme is enabling corporations to double-dip on profits, funneling $100 billion straight into their pockets from the rest of us.
