Apple's next iPhone Pro lineup could be heading toward one of its sharpest pricing tests in years, as surging memory costs threaten to raise hardware expenses just as the company pushes deeper into on-device AI.

NVIDIA RTX technologies are deeply integrated into Unreal Engine 5 through the NVIDIA RTX Branch of Unreal Engine and the NVIDIA DLSS Unreal Engine plugin. This provides developers with direct access to advanced rendering, frame generation, and ray-traced lighting. NVIDIA is expanding this integration with new tools for building on-device AI characters and gameplay, as announced at Unreal Fest 202

After Apple's WWDC 2026 keynote, online rumors claimed that only premium devices with 12GB of memory could run on-device AI, but DIGITIMES analyst Luke Lin said on a podcast that that was just Apple's messaging. Most on-device AI features only need 8GB of memory; only the Apple-defined advanced on-device AI requires the higher 12GB spec.

The compact space inside smartphones makes it difficult to adopt High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), not to mention the thermal problem, but a rumor claims that Chinese smartphone brands have a custom-made Low Latency Wide DRAM (LLW) that adopts a similar integrated design as the aforementioned technology. While the design isn’t “true HBM,” it aims to resolve the performance bottleneck issue that LPDDR R

LG Innotek plans to invest more than KRW1 trillion in a new semiconductor substrate plant in Haiphong, Vietnam, reflecting rising demand for substrates used in AI servers, 5G smartphones, and on-device AI chips. The expansion targets RF-SiP, FC-CSP, and FC-BGA substrates, as substrate suppliers adjust capacity plans to stronger demand from advanced mobile devices and AI infrastructure.

Samsung Electronics announced that its Exynos 2600 mobile application processor delivered more than double the on-device AI performance of the Exynos 2500, according to benchmark results released in June 2026. The company said the chip, manufactured on a 2nm foundry process and slated for Galaxy S26 standard and Plus models in early 2026, showed broad gains across natural language processing and i
