Apple tests DRAM from banned Chinese supplier CXMT for China devices

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from 9to5Mac ·

Apple is testing DRAM chips from CXMT, a Chinese memory supplier blacklisted by the US, for devices sold in China. The move follows Apple's lobbying for government approval to use the components. CXMT's chips would replace those from US-based Micron, which was banned in China last year.

Meridian48 take
Apple's testing of CXMT chips underscores the tension between US export controls and the need to compete in China's market, but the company still faces regulatory hurdles on both sides.
