My current phone is ageing. Normally I wouldn't urgently think about it replacing it now but as AI eats the world I am worried that electronics will become more expensive with time. Computer components have already skyrocketed in price.

So should I buy one now? Or is there no need to panic?

Inflation is running high so the best thing to do with your money is convert it into commodities with use value. The longer you hold your money the less you get for it.
