Well, inside every superhero phone is a tiny, super-powerful computer, like its brain! A company called Qualcomm makes many of these brains, called 'chips' or 'processors'.
Recently, the boss of Qualcomm, Cristiano Amon, said that these powerful little brains are going to cost a bit more money starting very soon, on September 1st.
