With the release of the iPhone 14, many people said that this time the iPhone 14, there is another domestic core component.
In the previous Apple mobile phone, the BOE OLED screen was used, and in the iPhone 14, not only the BOE OLED screen was used, but also the Yangtze River storage NAND flash memory was used.
Many people said that this shows that the domestic supply chain is progressing, and the level of Yangtze River storage has caught up with Samsung, SK Hynix, and Armored Man.
However, in response to the use of Nand flash memory stored in the Yangtze River in the iPhone14, Apple has finally expressed its position recently, saying that there is no NAND flash memory stored in the iPhone 14, and Apple does not currently use the chip stored by the Yangtze River in any product.
But Apple said it was currently evaluating the purchase of flash memory chips from Yangtze River Storage for use in iPhones sold in China.
And Apple also stressed that even if the flash memory chip stored in the Yangtze River is used in the future, it will only be used for products sold in China. This means that non-Chinese regions will not use the flash memory chips stored in the Yangtze River, and Apple also said that all user data stored on the flash memory chips is fully encrypted.
In the past, Apple's rumors about the supply chain have always been ignored, such as what has been said in the first half of the year that BOE was kicked out, Apple did not say, who joined the supply chain in the past, who kicked out of the supply chain, Apple will not say it alone.
But this time biased, this is still quite rare, the reason is actually very simple, the current global chip industry pattern situation is very tense, especially the competition between China and the United States in chips is very delicate, so Apple does not dare to be sloppy in this matter.
In addition, from apple's one debunking, behind a paragraph of explanation, there are multiple meanings, I don't know if everyone understands it.
The first is that it is not used now, and even if it is used in the future, it will only be used in iPhones sold in China. The second is that no matter what company's product is used, its data is encrypted, which means that information security is guaranteed.
It can be seen that Apple is now also very sensitive, and it is more unwilling to fall into the vortex of Sino-US chip competition, and wants to stay out of the matter, which I believe everyone should understand.
