Apple Chinese Supplier Trade Restrictions

On 27 June, The Verge reported that Apple wants permission to buy memory from a blacklisted Chinese supplier. Reuters cited a Wall Street Journal report that Apple was testing memory chips from China’s CXMT for iPhones and MacBooks. The available reporting says Apple is seeking permission and includes no later decision.

Assuming the report is factual, impact is 0%. Apple has requested permission, but this makes no immediate change for the company, the supplier, or Apple customers.

Watch for a decision on Apple’s request and confirmation that it will buy CXMT memory for iPhones or MacBooks.
