## Resource

Apple’s Tim Cook just dropped a bombshell: price hikes are coming for iPhones, fueled by a chip shortage so severe it feels like a “hundred-year flood.” AI’s voracious appetite for memory chips is choking the market, forcing Apple to absorb rising costs — until now. With new Pro models potentially soaring over $200, and the entire tech industry scrambling for scarce chips, this isn’t just inflation — it’s “chipflation.” The tiny components powering your phone are now the battleground for tomorrow’s tech — and your wallet’s about to pay the price.
