Google basically confirms the Pixel 11 is getting a price hike

Google devices VP Shakil Barkat indicated the next Pixel phone will likely be pricier than the Pixel 10, citing supply cost pressures. The report points to RAM shortages tied to booming AI data center demand, a trend already affecting prices at Apple, Nintendo, Microsoft, Roku, and others.

The likely Pixel 11 hike shows how AI infrastructure demand is spilling into consumer electronics by raising component costs. If memory supply remains tight, more device makers may pass costs to buyers, making premium phones and gadgets more expensive across the market.
