Citrini analyst Zephyr cited China’s mobile phone shipment data, noting that foreign brands including iPhone saw a 19.2% year-on-year drop in May, while local brands such as Huawei drove total shipment growth of 16.5%, putting Apple under increasing pressure in the Chinese market. Zephyr added that Apple faces not only price issues but also DRAM supply shortages; CXMT (Changxin Memory Technologies) products mainly serve the Chinese market, so Apple has to compete with Huawei, which uses CXMT and SwaySure’s joint memory factory. Zephyr believes Apple will struggle to maintain its Chinese market share if it does not adopt CXMT DRAM, and the Kirin 9040 will significantly narrow the SoC performance gap, hinting that Apple is lobbying to import 3D NAND flash memory produced by Yangtze Memory Technologies. Today’s news: Apple Inc. is lobbying the Trump administration to allow it to purchase DRAM chips manufactured by China’s Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT).
