    Ok, so this slows down consumer offerings in general as price creeps up, which means less people upgrade. That means there's a stabler hardware target for software devs to, well, target and optimize for. Of course this time will be rather taken to implement more IAP and AI or some other horseshit that nobody really wants.

    RAM prices in W Europe are pretty stable at the moment (+310% compared to November '25, peaking at +340% in January). Price increases for SSDs (+100%) and HDDs (+60%) continue unabatedly and steadily.

    Hard to tell where the journey's going. SK, Samsung say they're expecting the current situation to extend into the 2030s.
