I did not see this posted anywhere. Not looking forward to this if it is true.

Apple Eyeing A Partnership With Chinese Memory Makers YMTC And CXMT As The Big Three Adopt Hardball Tactics

The gambit might simply be Apple's way of countering the hardball negotiation tactics employed by SK hynix, Samsung, and KIOXIA.

I don't trust Chinese hardware. They have been known to have spyware. I am hoping the Mac Studio refresh happens in March so I can get my potentially last few Mac systems with everything going crazy.

I hope this works. We need more RAM manufacturers to ease the pressure silly AI is causing.

As for the spyware, can RAM have that? I thought this was a thing on other components, like CPU, motherboard, networking hardware, etc...

I don't trust Chinese hardware.

That presents an untenable occupation in being involved with tech these days.

Nothing to fear about AAPL forming new partnerships. It's not like the demand for big-NAND tech (and the need to balance cost with expenditure) is about to magically disappear....

What is it that eventually dissolved your trust?
