Apple Tests Chinese Chipmaker CXMT's Memory Components for iPhones and MacBooks
Apple has been testing memory chips from Chinese manufacturer CXMT for its iPhones and MacBooks in an effort to mitigate a component shortage driven by surging global demand for artificial intelligence hardware and infrastructure.
The testing is aimed at incorporating CXMT's memory components into devices sold specifically within China, with Apple holding early-stage talks with the chipmaker about securing a supply of memory components.
CXMT is China's largest chipmaker by market value, making it a significant potential partner for companies seeking to diversify their memory supply chain in the region.
