Why You Might Not Get an iPhone 18 Pro

Even if you have the cash, you might not be able to buy an iPhone 18 Pro at launch.\n\nArtificial intelligence is eating up the world's memory supply. AI companies are buying DRAM chips in massive quantities, leaving giant shortages for everyone else.\n\nIt gets worse. TSMC is currently sitting on one billion dollars worth of unfinished A20 Pro processors. The chips work perfectly, but TSMC can't finish assembly without DRAM on top. Apple's suppliers are scrambling, but production lines are stalled.\n\nWhen pre-orders open, stock could vanish in seconds. A delay of just two minutes could mean waiting months for your phone. If you plan to upgrade, keep your credit card ready.
