Hold onto your wallets, folks! Samsung’s Co-CEO T.M. Roh has thrown down the gauntlet, warning us that our beloved phones, TVs, and tech gadgets are about to get pricier. No, it’s not because they want to fund a luxurious coffee machine for the break room (although, wouldn’t that be nice?). It’s all thanks to the worldwide memory chip shortage, which is as fun as a root canal without anesthesia.
Roh explained to Reuters that this situation is ‘unprecedented’—a term that’s making its rounds like a trendy meme. Apparently, nobody’s safe in this tech apocalypse; from smartphones to home appliances, everything’s feeling the pinch.
So, while Samsung might be raking in dough from the chip side of the business, the poor consumers are left holding the bag—or in this case, the slightly more expensive gadget.
As they say, ‘inevitability’ is the fancy term for ‘guess we have no choice.’ So, brace yourselves for those price hikes, and maybe consider investing in a piggy bank shaped like a smartphone. Is this the new normal for tech prices? Or can we expect some miracle pricing rescue?
