The increased memory requirements for Apple's Siri AI and projected iPhone 18 shipments of 250 million units in 2027 will contribute to a supply choke in the DRAM market.

The surging demand for DRAM driven by Apple's Siri AI and iPhone production will further tighten global memory supply, potentially leading to higher prices for consumers and creating a difficult market for Apple's competitors without diverse revenue streams to absorb increased costs.
