Qualcomm Tells Customers Prices Rising by Double Digits, Effective September 1

Qualcomm sent a letter to customers on July 24, 2026, warning of double-digit percentage price increases on products shipped after September 1, 2026. The company cited component shortages and higher supplier costs, saying it exhausted alternatives including alternate sourcing. The five-week window leaves OEMs little time to renegotiate or re-architect around competing SoC vendors.
