Flash memory suppliers gain leverage over Apple as AI booms

Original: Apple bullied flash memory suppliers, and why AI datacenters changed the game

Flash memory chipmakers, long pressured by Apple into tough pricing terms, are gaining new bargaining power thanks to surging demand from AI datacenters. As AI infrastructure competes for NAND and other memory supply, suppliers are less dependent on Apple's orders, shifting the balance in negotiations and easing what critics describe as Apple's past strong-arm tactics.

Why now: AI datacenter demand is reshaping chip supply dynamics, letting memory suppliers push back against Apple.
