Who sets memory chip prices?

Memory chip prices are largely set by a few major global manufacturers, influenced by supply and demand dynamics. Companies like Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology are dominant players. Apple's large orders give them some leverage, but they are still subject to the broader market trends and manufacturing costs of these suppliers.
