Will this affect the prices of Macbook Pros and Mac Studios, especially the 512 GB version?


Probably not at all since the RAM on Apple’s chips is on die, meaning they manufacture it themselves with the chip. They’re not beholden to RAM manufacturer pricing. Arguably they could raise prices just because RAM has gotten more expensive and they want to match, but I doubt it given the crazy high margins they already charge for it.


I researched this and you are not correct. Apple doesn't make their own memory chips.


Interesting, so it’s integrated in the SoC, but they don’t produce it themselves as part of the CPU die?
