Well. Yeah. The market is fucked.

From the post:

>Last week, it emerged that Apple was in discussions with CXMT and fellow Chinese chipmaker Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC) about sourcing memory, with no deal finalized. The new details suggest Apple has since progressed to qualifying CXMT's chips specifically, running the company's memory through the kind of technical validation that typically precedes a supplier being approved for production use. Apple has apparently still not committed to using CXMT's chips commercially, and is continuing to lead a lobbying effort among U.S. tech companies to get Washington's blessing for broader use of the supplier's products.

They apparently plan on using these memory chips for iPhone sold in China (and maybe Asia)

That's a interesting idea and supply chain / supply chain attack nightmare.

Force companies to use chips made only in their country. I get the idea and I would want to avoid that stuff in the US entirely if possible. You know it will (and already has) snuck in though.

They would still raise the price for all models to compensate for the expensive chips bought from Micron, Hynix, Samsung...
