Your Apple devices are about to cost more. Tim Cook confirmed it himself — a global RAM shortage is coming for your wallet. AI is eating the world’s RAM supply. Some have dubbed it RAMnarök, and there’s nothing Thor is going to be able to do about it. Meanwhile, Snap just launched a pair of AR glasses for just under $2,200. They look like something your optician’s most eccentric patient would wear. And people are already asking the question nobody at Snap wanted to hear.
Big tech, big prices, big questions. This is The Tech Hangout.
