Apple had already completed the monthslong process to certify YMTC's 128-layer 3D NAND flash memory for use in iPhones when the U.S. government unveiled the tighter export restrictions against China early this month, multiple sources said.https://t.co/mGcn8eHX1p

Yet another decoupling sign. Biden is serious about chips and without advanced chips, China has become a very bad place to buy a lot of things. https://t.co/NdtqioV3ad

Apple had been considering eventually purchasing up to 40% of the NAND flash memory needed for all iPhones from 🇨🇳 government-subsidized YMTC, but now it has put on hold plans to use YMTC’s memory chips in its products. https://t.co/oUVOe9YLpJ

An escalating trade war with China will deepen inflation as companies take more expensive paths to getting components AND addressable markets of multiple industries shrinks causing price increases to address shortfalls.

US government forces Apple to reject memory chips from a Chinese company (YMTC).

The move comes amid the latest round of U.S. export controls imposed against the Chinese tech sector and is a sign that Washington's crackdown is creating a chilling effect down the supply chain. https://t.co/N9z1XAk0g3

Big news: Apple just dropped China's YMTC memory chip supplier due to geopolitics. It was supposed to supply 40% of Apple's Iphone chips.

Supply chains are being disrupted. And that means higher costs/challenges but also opportunities for others.https://t.co/36HvmfK6u1

Original sourced article says "pause." Article which quotes it shifts to "dropped," after game of telephone. Then on to twitter where it is sold as a final, permanent, cataclysmic policy shift.

Apple has been bullied under threat of government regulations. All in the name of a "free market" and "capitalist competition."

Allowing CCP-controlled YMTC into iPhones would have put our national security at serious risk and made us more reliant on China. I’m glad that Apple is dropping YMTC, as I urged last month, but they should not have considered YMTC in the first place. https://t.co/9SRaOP2kss
