   Nothing reportedly prepping two smart glasses, one with ChatGPT and a camera

   Leaker Roland Quandt said on Bluesky that Nothing is preparing two very different smart glasses: a camera-free pair with audio playback, calls, access to the phone's voice assistant and photochromic lenses, and a more advanced pair that adds a camera plus ChatGPT, translation and other unspecified features. 9to5Google and other outlets note the camera model resembles the Ray-Ban Meta formula, and that Nothing has been building ChatGPT integration into its earbuds and phones rather than adopting Gemini. Reports say the glasses are expected around 2027, with AI processing handled by the phone and cloud and no AR display.

   AI memory squeeze drives up device prices as the cheap electronics era ends

   An opinion piece argues that AI data centers' appetite for HBM is squeezing consumer-grade memory capacity and passing the cost down to ordinary buyers. Citing TrendForce, it says smartphone LPDDR5X contract prices rose 78%–83% quarter-on-quarter in Q2 2026, with a single 12GB LPDDR5X chip going from $77 in Q1 to $146; Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron control over 95% of the DRAM market, HBM margins exceed 70%, and HBM's share of DRAM wafer capacity has climbed from 8% two years ago to 23%, heading for 30% next year. The article also notes Apple's Mac mini entry price moving from $599 to $799, Microsoft's Xbox Series S rising from $299 to $499, and Nothing scrapping the CMF Phone 2 Pro successor because memory was too expensive, and cites IDC forecasts of 10%–20% higher PC, tablet and phone prices in 2026 with smartphone shipments falling 13%. The author calls these increases a hidden "AI tax" consumers pay without noticing.
