New memory and bitmap thresholds with a February 2027 compliance deadline, plus Zero Tap Sign-In restoration by April 2027 (TechCrunch). LPDDR5X went from about $2.80 a gigabyte in 2025 to roughly $12 now, consumer DRAM contract prices rose as much as 89% in one quarter, and J.P. Morgan projects DRAM up over 400% from early 2024 through end of 2026. Some brands are shipping 3GB instead of 6GB in entry-level phones. This is the first hard dated compliance deadline that AI infrastructure demand has imposed on ordinary mobile developers.
