Qualcomm Announces Double-Digit Price Increase for Smartphone Processors from September
Qualcomm plans to raise smartphone processor prices by a double-digit percentage starting September 1, citing rising supplier costs and supply shortages. The company informed customers it can no longer absorb these costs despite seeking alternative components. This price increase reflects broader industry challenges, including memory chip shortages driven by increased AI infrastructure investment. Qualcomm's chips are widely used in smartphones and other devices, and the company is expected to report its third-quarter results on July 29.
