During this period when memory costs are skyrocketing, it is putting pressure on device prices. The production cost of 12GB RAM, which will be included in the iPhone 17 Pro series, has increased by 230%—a figure much higher than most people anticipated. This wave of crisis in the global memory market is likely to be seen soon on the consumer side. The price tags of next-generation smartphones are at risk of being pushed upward due to these cost increases.

Prices are rising again, this time it's the memory. 230%? Oh my god, that's a crazy number.
Is the iPhone 17 going to wipe out wallets...
Wait, with memory costs rising so sharply, what about other manufacturers? Are they all going to get hit too?
I'm overwhelmed, I think I'll stick with my old phone for now.
Who's the unlucky one this time? Anyway, it won't be Cook.
Memory shortages are really ridiculous; can't afford a new phone anymore.
Chips, memory, screens... Are phone prices going to skyrocket?
Just 12GB has increased like this, how crazy would 16GB be...
It's the "cost pressure" excuse again, I don't buy it.

Sorry, I need to comment on this Turkish article in Turkish. Here is my comment:
A 230% increase? That means our pockets will be emptier when the iPhone 17 Pro comes out.
