Samsung is making more RAM because Apple needs more RAM

TL;DR Samsung is increasing its RAM production to meet demands from companies like Apple. The company is constructing a new end fab facility and optimizing its logistics to increase efficiency. It’s expected to increase RAM production by 15% by the end of the year.

It’s no secret that the tech industry is facing a memory crisis . The DRAM shortage has driven prices up over the past few months, and companies like Apple and Samsung are feeling the pinch . In fact, Apple has been lobbying the US government to lift its restrictions on Chinese DRAM modules so it can offset some effects of the limited supply and buy some from Chinese manufacturers.

However, that might not end up being necessary for Apple. According to a report from South Korean outlet SE Daily , Samsung is taking steps to increase its DRAM output by almost 15% by the end of the year, primarily to meet demands from big clients like Apple.
