🇺🇸🇨🇳 Apple wants to use Chinese memory chips to lower the prices of their products, Micron the only major U.S. memory chip maker, is lobbying against, per WSJ

Apple is lobbying the Trump administration to allow it to use memory chips from China's ChangXin Memory Technologies and Yangtze Memory Technologies in products sold outside the U.S., arguing the move would ease the global memory shortage and help lower costs, WSJ reports.

Micron, the only major U.S. memory chip maker, is lobbying against the plan, warning it could undermine the domestic semiconductor industry, even if the chips are only used in products sold abroad.
