🚨 As predicted in our previous blogs, the 📱 smartphone market began to be affected by the memory crunch 📉, ending 10 consecutive quarters of growth. But this is just the beginning of what we can expect in 2026. Read more here 🔗 www.idc.com/resource-cen...
Many people asked me this week how Samsung would price the new S26 lineup, considering the ongoing memory shortage crisis. Here you go: - Galaxy S26 Ultra starts at $1,300 🟰 NO price increase - Galaxy S26+ starts at $1,100 ↗️ $100 increase - Galaxy S26 starts at $900 ↗️ $100 increase
The privacy mode on the #GalaxyS26 is probably the most interesting new feature on the Samsung Galaxy S26, and it is likely to set the benchmark for other brands to add it in their flagship devices. #GalaxyUnpacked
Qualcomm expects Chinese OEMs to scale back handset production due to the memory crisis, leading to lower chipset orders. This will continue to impact the smartphone market throughout the fiscal year.
🚨 Quick take on Apple Q1 FY2026 results 1️⃣ With all-time record revenue of $143.8B, the company has silenced long-standing skepticism regarding its ability to maintain double-digit growth in the smartphone market. 2️⃣ This performance reflects a robust “supercycle” driven by the iPhone 17 lineup
Tim Cook: "We exited the December quarter with very lean inventory levels. Memory had a minimal impact in the December quarter. We expect a bigger impact in the Q2 FY26 quarter. Beyond that, we expect memory pricing to keep increasing significantly."

"Selon Francisco Jeronimo, vice-président des données et analyses sur les appareils chez IDC, « la stratégie d'Apple avec cette nouvelle gamme de produits vise à augmenter les taux de mise à niveau et à raccourcir les cycles de remplacement." www.lesechos.fr/tech-medias/...
The strategy with the new product lineup is simple: increase upgrade rates and shorten replacement cycles. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max redesign, alongside the new iPhone 17 Air, will likely drive many users to upgrade, as the new aesthetics and thinner form factor will be distinctive factors.
The new Pixel 10 Pro Fold is built to address the biggest concern with foldables: durability. It's one of the first book-style foldables to achieve an IP68 rating, meaning it has top-tier protection against both dust and water. #MadeByGoogle
