[Micron Executive Slams Apple's Pricing Model: Chip Cost Increases by $45, End-User Price Rises by $250] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on June 27, a foreign financial investment influencer account on social media revealed that a senior executive at Micron Technology publicly criticized Apple's pricing model. For over a decade, Apple has been purchasing memory chips at $5, repackaging them simply, and selling storage upgrades to consumers for $99, while mocking Micron for attempting to raise the unit price to $7. Now, with the chip procurement price rising to $50, Apple has directly increased the consumer price by $250, exponentially passing the cost pressure onto users.
