Apple may receive Trump approval to use Chinese memory chips

Apple may receive authorization from Donald Trump to purchase memory components from Chinese suppliers CXMT and YMTC for its iPhone production, specifically for devices sold within China. This potential move comes as global demand for RAM continues to strain the production capacities of major manufacturers like Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron.

Reports suggest an official announcement regarding this decision could occur during a meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping at the White House on September 24. While the move aims to secure necessary hardware supplies, it faces significant opposition from members of the U.S. Congress, who argue that relying on Chinese companies for strategic components poses a national security risk.
