It is already happening.
This year, nagsimula na magtaasan prices ng mga smartphones, tabs and other devices due to memory shortage and AI demands and it will continue to increase before this year ends.
Panda's advice: Like Gadget Sidekick, if you have the budget, better upgrade your phone now before magtaasan ulit prices. If your target phone is medyo mahal na, try to look for previous year models na decent pa specs na good pa for 3 - 4 years usage.
We've already witnessed the sudden increase of Poco phone prices, particularly the newly released F8 and X8 series, and eventually other brands will follow really soon.
This is not to scare or pressure you to buy - this is to inform you just in case you're not aware.
Thanks and stay safe,
