AI强劲需求推升内存芯片大涨后，法人机构指出，苹果挟高度垂直整合优势，加上新款折叠机将于第3 季发表，即使市场预估今年智能型手机销量下滑约2%，但预期iPhone抵抗成本上涨的能力将优于 Android，因此，在手机阵营中，相对看好大立光（3008）等iPhone供应链。 大型法人机构表示，AI基础建设吸纳大量资源，AI推论应用将耗用大量内存，推升内存涨价幅度达倍 数以上，内存为手机重要零组件之一，目前旗舰机LPDDR5X主流内存搭载容量为12~16GB不等，以 12GB容量为例，2025年初33美元，近期价格以来到70美元以上，加上部分大厂签订的长期供货合约将 于今年初到期， 内存成本上扬的压力不可小看。 加上新款折叠机将于第3季发表，即使外界预估今年智能手机销量下滑约2%，iPhone抵抗成本上涨的能 力将优于Android，中国台湾相关供应链业者而言，大立光、美律、晶技等供应链营运将受惠。 除内存以外，高通与联发科在2026年将推出的旗舰手机芯片皆将进入2 纳米制程世代，由于较3纳米制 程提升价格约20%，也是另一个成本上升来源。 苹果挟高度垂直整合优势，多样芯片采自行设计开发的策略，举凡应用处理器、无 ...
