TL;DR

Apple is reportedly in talks to buy memory chips from Chinese makers CXMT and YMTC to reduce RAM costs amid a global memory shortage; discussions are ongoing with no deal yet. The talks could involve chips for China‑market devices, potentially freeing up other suppliers for the U.S., but regulatory and political hurdles remain, including scrutiny of Chinese suppliers and past backlash over YMTC.
