Samsung has increased the price of chips, iPhone 14 Series is definitely more expensive-Hi-tech fashion

According to the latest report, Samsung is set to increase the cost of chip production by up to 20% due to high demand.

The global semiconductor crisis has caused many chip companies to raise prices throughout 2021 and 2022. Like other chipmakers, Samsung will also increase chip prices.

Samsung will increase the cost of chip production by up to 20%.

According to Bloomberg, Samsung is negotiating with customers to increase semiconductor prices, the increase can be up to 20% compared to normal. Depending on the difficulty of production, such as complex design and other factors, the increase can be from 15 – 20%.

While more difficult manufacturing designs will cost more, chips using the older manufacturing process will also see larger price increases compared to newer process chips.

Sources said, the new price may be applied from the second half of 2022. Samsung has concluded negotiations with a number of manufacturers and is negotiating a new contract.

Current iPhone 14″ will increase the price more than the old generation.

Samsung has kept its prices relatively stable throughout 2021 while other companies have pushed for price increases. However, many risks including the conflict in Ukraine and the blockade in China make it difficult for Samsung to weather this “storm” of price increases.

As one of the largest semiconductor manufacturers, Samsung’s price changes can affect the final cost of products sold to consumers. Apple’s chip partner TSMC, Samsung’s leading “rival” in the industry, started raising prices in August 2021, potentially affecting the selling price of the iPhone 14 “family”.
