The tech industry is currently being squeezed by demand for chips used for memory and SSD storage. It’s a situation worsened by shortages in CPU supplies, which will only apply more pressure on manufacturers to charge consumers more.
While most of the computer manufacturing industry will be affected, Apple’s supply chain has insulated itself enough that it won’t be an issue.
