SK Hynix warns that the RAM and flash memory shortage is likely to last until at least 2030, and product prices will remain high. According to 9to5Mac, SK Hynix has signed long-term priority supply agreements with 14 tech giants; these buyers will collectively purchase more than half of its output in 2027 and 2028, but the contracts allow prices to rise in line with market conditions. Apple said in June that it was doing its best to mitigate the price increases, but has so far been unable to do so.
