If Apple makes their own chips, with embedded memory. Why do they have to raise their prices because RAM modules are in short supply? I mean, don’t they just burn the memory directly onto their chips?

This is correct. Samsung operate a chip foundry. Apple does not. Interestingly, Samsung’s Exynos chips are only used, for the most part, outside Korea and the United States. Those regions get the superior Qualcomm silicon. Exynos has never been as good.

Apple chips are built by TSMC IIRC.
