Apple recently revealed that the iPhone 14 uses flash memory (NAND Flash) stored by the Yangtze River in China, which has caused an uproar in the United States. Today (16) the iPhone 14 series of mobile phones will go on sale globally. Media reported that a number of scrapping bloggers have confirmed that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14Pro series models use YMTC NAND chips. Because the Biden administration has adopted stringent technology export control measures on the mainland’s semiconductor industry, it is now “betrayed” by its own family, Apple, which could make the United States uncomfortable.
Earlier, Korean media BusinessKorea said Yangtze Memory, a chip factory on the mainland, has been included in Apple’s supply chain and will supply NAND chips for the iPhone 14 series.
Apple responded that it is considering purchasing NAND Flash from YMTC for some iPhones sold in the mainland and will not consider using YMTC NAND Flash for mobile phones sold outside the mainland, noting that Apple stores all data from the mainland. “Fully Encrypted” NAND chip users.
IT House reported that when the iPhone 14 starts going on sale globally today, some bloggers have posted an iPhone 14 Pro Max teardown video.
Several teardown bloggers have confirmed that Apple’s iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro series models use NAND chips provided by Yangtze Memory; another netizen broke the news that some models use NAND from other manufacturers. It seems Apple’s supply chain is still quite diverse.
NAND flash memory is a commonly used low-capacity storage device characterized by the ability to retain data even when the device is turned off. Apple currently uses NAND chips mainly from the three South Korean companies Samsung, SK Hynix and Kioxia (formerly Toshiba Memory) Japan
Experts have said that it is Apple’s constant practice to provoke price wars between suppliers, but this strategy is in the hands of the mainland, making mainland China companies that started by cutting prices become the winners of the battle.
