Comment on Valve says there's no end in sight to the memory crisis, and prices are only going to increase: 'Honestly, it's still getting worse'

  I mean, historically, absolutely, everyone knows that. But do you know for a fact that, now, in 2026 they’re still getting first pick at normal “sweetest deals”? I would assume maybe better than some, or at least still getting supplied at all. But I thought I recently (in the last 2-3 months’ish) heard something about them also getting fucked: by the big AI datacenter players; Apple, to my knowledge, is not, at least not on that scale.

  If you have insider/industry experience, though, that’s that… I no longer am close friends with people at Apple, and to dispute confident, current inside knowledge becomes a different discussion for a different place with different people.

    My information is probably less out-of-date than yours, but yeah, they’re probably getting hit as well, just not as hard.

      Also it’s Apple. Even if they got the chips at the same price before they would never NOT raise the price if given the opportunity.
