    AI is killing the cheap smartphone

    The era of increasingly powerful and affordable consumer electronics, particularly cheap smartphones, is ending due to a global memory shortage. AI's massive demand for memory has led to a reallocation of these components away from consumer devices and towards data centers. This shift is causing a significant price increase and a projected 13% drop in worldwide smartphone shipments, disproportionately affecting lower-cost models and potentially limiting internet access for developing regions. AI

    IMPACT Consumer electronics prices are rising due to AI's demand for memory, potentially limiting access to technology for lower-income populations.
