Furthermore, as device manufacturers like Apple face significantly squeezed profit margins and increasingly resist further price hikes, the price increase of traditional DRAM may slow further. Lee predicts that memory chip manufacturers will maintain strong profit margins over the next two years, but with limited room for further increases.
