                    If wanted to further the minds of the audience, they would make a special model if iPhone with entirely new name, other than iPhone. 2x to 3x the amount of RAM, go beyond their typical low-RAM - and price it $700 higher profit margin (on top of the added price for the hardware differences). Run the CPU at 2% higher speed than the mainline models, bin the best chips. Then let tech people endlessly debate if that vast RAM makes any real-world difference.

                    Even if they sold nothing, it would be the exclusive casked Scotch Whiskey market icon. And it would play off the VERY LONG time trend of having too-little RAM in Macintosh, Apple laptops, etc. It would create perpetual analysis debate.

                    I haven't come up with any good names. Maybe "Apple iPhone" this model would be called "Apple PowerUser"... again, I can't come up with any good names. but entirely not "iPhone" in the name.

The article outlines Ternus’s career, noting his start at Virtual Research Systems after earning a mechanical‑engineering degree from the University of Pennsylvania, his 2001 entry into Apple’s product‑design team, and his rise to Vice‑President of Hardware Engineering in 2013. It highlights his key role in launching major Apple product lines—including the iPad, AirPods, various iPhone generations, and the recent MacBook Neo—while noting his leadership over the iPhone 17 series launch. The piece also touches on Apple’s foray into the headset market with the Vision Pro in 2024, quoting Ternus’s optimism that “Vision Pro is an extraordinary product…like we reached into the future and pulled it into the present.”

The change comes a day after CEO Tim Cook warned that Apple is confronting “several months” of memory‑chip shortages and higher‑than‑expected demand for its desktop lineup, especially AI‑focused devices like the Mac mini and Mac Studio. Cook noted that constraints are more about the availability of advanced‑node SoC production than memory itself, and that the company expects significantly higher memory costs this quarter, prompting the removal of the 256 GB variant from Apple’s online store.

The semiconductor market is highly concentrated, with a few firms controlling the design of graphics processors (e.g., NVIDIA) and the fabrication of memory chips (Samsung, Micron, SK Hynix), and the long, costly cycle of building new fabs means capacity cannot be expanded quickly. As memory and accelerator chips are redirected toward hyperscale AI servers, consumer devices face rising costs, supply constraints, and the need to redesign hardware to run smaller on‑device AI models, which is expected to keep prices higher and product releases delayed in the coming years.

While Nvidia, now trading below $4.9 trillion and down more than 6 % after a Wall Street Journal report on OpenAI’s missed revenue targets, struggles to rally ahead of its May 20 earnings, options traders are pricing a roughly 53 % chance that Alphabet will reach the $401 per‑share level—equivalent to Nvidia’s market cap—by May 15, and about a 30 % probability it will close above $400 on May 22. The last time Alphabet held the top spot was in 2016, briefly displacing Apple.
