Summary
Nothing has confirmed that its next budget CMF phone, a follow-up to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, will not launch this year due to skyrocketing memory prices. Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis stated the company had been working on a successor but current memory costs made it too expensive to proceed. The price surge is described as a "RAMpocalypse" disrupting the tech industry in a way not seen since the Covid era.
