Bipartisan US Senators Warn Apple Against Buying Memory Chips From Blacklisted Chinese Firms

Bipartisan US senators have written to Apple CEO Tim Cook, urging the company not to purchase memory chips from Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT) and Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC), two Chinese firms on the US Defense Department's updated list of Chinese military-linked companies. Apple is in talks to buy chips for devices sold in China, with no final agreement reached. The warning comes amid a global memory chip shortage that has driven up prices, exacerbated by demand from AI processor makers such as Nvidia. In June 2026, Apple raised prices on Mac, iPad, Home and Vision Pro products, citing the chip shortage.
