When demand goes up and supplies drop, prices go up. When manufacturers pay higher prices, guess who else ends up paying more? That's right, us, the consumers. Thanks for the cost hike Mr. Jobs.
Its not the flash makers that are complaining, its the bean counters at iSupply complaining on behalf of those device manufacturers who dont have long-term contracts in place to get their hands on the NAND that they require.
Apple have pretty much ordered over 30% of all the global production of NAND for the next few years. Good for NAND makers, bad for those who need some in the future and have to wait months for it.
So Apple is doubling the storage capacity of their devices thereby forcing their competitors to do the same and flash memory companies are complaining?
Cheers mr jobs, now i know why SSD's are going UP in price not down... Great.
you freaks. It's just Nick "fartels" about Apple.
The more flash will be used the less price per byte eventually
