The revision is mainly driven by rising costs of memory components that feed into the bill of materials (BoM) for devices.Entry-level phones priced under about $200 are forecast to see the toughest hit, with BoM costs climbing sharply over the past year, the firm noted. Mid-range and high-end devices also face inflationary pressures, but at somewhat lower rates.As manufacturers pass at least part of these cost increases on to buyers, average selling prices (ASPs) are expected to rise in 2026. Larger brands with extensive product lines and strong vertical integration are said to be in a better position to absorb cost shocks.&nbsp;<blockquote>“Apple and Samsung are best positioned to weather the next few quarters.”-Yang Wang, Senior Analyst,&nbsp;Counterpoint Research.&nbsp;</blockquote><h2 class="st-heading-2">Industry Response</h2>To cope with higher costs, some original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are adjusting specs, streamlining product offerings, and pushing consumers toward premium models with better margins. Counterpoint stated that this could accelerate market trends already underway toward fewer low-margin, entry-level handsets.“In some models, we are seeing downgrades of components like camera modules and periscope solutions, displays, audio components, and, of course, memory configurations,” said Senior Analyst Shenghao Bai.&nbsp;“Other tactics include reusing old components, streamlining the portfolio, and pushing consumers to higher-specification ‘Pro’ variants and adopting new designs to stimulate upgrades.”&nbsp;Also See:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/can-iren-stock-win-back-investors-after-recent-slump/cLeJ5EKREYe">The Curious Case of IREN: Can The Neocloud Win Back Investors After A 50% Stock Slump From Its November Peak?</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
