Woofun AI reports that the Northern District of California Federal Court accepted a class-action lawsuit against Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology. Plaintiffs allege the firms violated antitrust laws by coordinating to limit traditional DRAM production, artificially inducing shortages and elevating costs. The complaint asserts this collusion drove commercial DRAM prices up by 700% over four years, impacting global electronics procurement. Apple's recent iPad and Mac price increases are cited as evidence of downstream cost transmission to end consumers.
