YMTC products aren’t yet available in Apples hardware. While the idea was to use a Chinese-sourced flash in the China market, one of Nikkei’s Asian sources said the company considering using the YMTC 3D NAND to do a 40% of the flash storage in all iPhones. The chips, described as the most advanced yet manufactured by a Chinese foundry, are still behind the ones that are made of Samsung and Micron, but can be viewed as cheaper but are also subtracted from the Chinese government. Interestingly, Apples’ deal has fallen foul of United States export controls, which have been imposed on China, despite the lengthy certification process of the 128-layer storage chips being completed. According to the article in New Zealand published on Nikkei Asia, the move follows the political pressure of the United States’ government. Apple has seemingly cancelled its plans in September, which we reported (opened in a new tab) to produce 3D NAND chips from China’s YMTC (Yangtze Memory Technologies Corp).
