Senators warn Apple not to buy memory from Chinese companies on Pentagon list

U.S. senators have warned Apple against purchasing memory chips from Chinese companies CXMT and YMTC, which are on the Pentagon's list of entities linked to the Chinese military. Apple is reportedly in talks to acquire chips from these firms amid a global supply squeeze that is driving up memory prices. The senators argue that such a deal would make Apple reliant on critical supplies from entities the U.S. government considers a national security risk. The warning highlights ongoing tensions between U.S. technology firms and Chinese semiconductor suppliers, as well as the broader geopolitical implications of supply chain dependencies in the memory chip market.
