Apple seeks LPDDR5X memory alternatives at CXMT amid global component shortage

The memory shortage It is not only a problem that is reflected in price increases, as we see in graphics cards or other components more directly related to this component. Suppliers also face difficulties in obtaining this precious component, regardless of the price. The shortage is making Apple look for alternatives beyond Micronto ensure a stable supply of memory LPDDR5Xeven turning to the Chinese memory manufacturer CXMT.

CXMT says no to Apple: refuses to apply discounts on LPDDR5X memory

But this precious commodity in recent months is not the subject of negotiations, Apple have tried to get a discount on memories CXMT due to the high purchase volume that will have Applebut the Chinese manufacturer has rejected this offer. Yeah Apple want to ensure more memory LPDDR5X for your handheld products CXMTyou must pay the price without volume discounts or any other factor.

A situation that occurs a few weeks after the launch of its annual flagship product, the iPhone. Presumably the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Maxalong with the iPhone Ultra (either Fold), will be launched next September. The assemblers in charge of manufacturing these products are looking for more memory so as not to depend exclusively on Micronalthough Samsung and SK Hynix They also provide memory to the giant of the Apple.

Micron, Samsung and SK Hynix are not enough and Apple turns to CXMT for memory

But it is complicated, whatever it may be, to obtain a greater amount of memory LPDDR5X to use in your products. CXMT has rejected a juicy purchase offer from Appleand it seems that there will be no shortage of full-price orders in the coming months, which is why you can afford not to have a large order from a large manufacturer such as Apple. Nor do we know if, despite his refusal to downgrade memory, Apple you will still need the memory CXMT to obtain a satisfactory amount of iPhones ahead of its launch in a few weeks.
