Apple testing CXMT memory chips for iPhones and MacBooks
Apple has been testing memory chips from China’s CXMT across product lines including iPhones and MacBooks, reports the Wall Street Journal. The move seeks to mitigate a component shortage fueled by the AI boom.
Apple held early talks with CXMT, which is China’s largest chipmaker by market value, about supplying components with the goal of using them in some devices sold in China, people familiar with the matter told the Journal.
The tech giant would need to seek approval from Washington before it could actually partner with the Chinese firm.
