BREAKING NEWS
🍎 The AI Boom Is Making iPhones More Expensive
Apple's CEO just told you straight up that they’re raising prices. "Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable." No spin. No corporate dance around it.
Memory chips that go into every iPhone, iPad, and Mac now cost roughly four times what they did a year ago. Cook called it a hundred-year flood and the worst supply crunch he has seen in over 40 years in the industry.
The blunt version? AI data centers need the same memory chips your phone needs. Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron are redirecting their factories toward AI server chips because those margins are far higher, leaving less for consumer devices like yours. Apple is one of the biggest buyers of memory on the planet, and even Apple cannot out-muscle that shift.
What This Means For Your Wallet:
💸 Passing the cost through at current margins could add around $270 to the next iPhone Pro alone.
📈 Morgan Stanley is forecasting a 15% price increase across smartphones and PCs in the US this year.
🏭 New memory factories are under construction, but they’re not expected to open until late 2027, which keeps prices elevated well into next year.
The Munch Take: When the CEO of the most valuable company on Earth says "unavoidable," that is not a marketing word. That is a man telling you there is no clever trick left to dodge this one. It’s unfortunate considering the iPhone is already the most expensive phone on the market and that Apple hasn’t brought anything new to it in what feels like a decade. Oh, and don’t get us started about Siri. Regardless, the stock is still up 10% YTD.

STOCK OF THE DAY
💾 Trump Says Apple Is Bringing Chip Making Back To America. Intel Is The Real Winner.
Intel ( $INTC ( ▲ 10.64% ) ) surged as much as 11% to a record high after Trump announced on social media that Apple struck a deal with Intel to design and build chips in the United States.
Apple and Intel have reportedly been negotiating this quietly for months, but Trump's post still caught some Intel executives off guard. Reports point to Intel shipping lower end M-series chips for Apple as early as 2027.
A government angle that makes Intel even more interesting:
The US already owns roughly 10% of Intel after an $8.9 billion investment last year, and Trump claims that stake has grown from $9 billion to over $60 billion in nine months. When the federal government has that much skin in the game, every Intel headline carries extra weight, and every win for Intel becomes a political win too.

📈 The Bull Case:
With the government holding such a massive equity stake, there is now a direct financial and political incentive to keep Intel's stock climbing.
A real manufacturing partnership with Apple would mark Intel's clearest comeback signal yet after years of falling behind TSMC.
Landing Apple as customer gives Intel stock the credibility boost it has needed for years and other chipmakers could follow once Apple leads the way.
📉 The Bear Case:
Intel has disappointed investors before on manufacturing promises, and yields on its newest model remain unproven at scale.
Even if the deal is real, chips won’t ship until 2027, meaning Intel's stock just priced in years of execution that hasn't happened yet.
Neither Apple nor Intel has confirmed this deal. Right now Intel's rally is built on a presidential post, not a joint announcement, and that kind of move can reverse just as fast.
The Munch Take: A stock can rip 11% on a single social media post before either company involved says a word about it. That tells you everything about how this market trades right now. Considering the stock is up 240% in 2026 alone, we’re not touching this one. We regret spending time to research stocks and understand the companies when we should have just bought what the President did.
