A bipartisan group of senators have chips on their shoulders, asking U.S. security officials to review a plan by Apple to use Chinese parts for the iPhone 14.
The senators urged Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines to review the national security threat that would result if Apple were to use memory chips from China's state-subsidized Yangtze Memory Technologies Co., according to the Washington Post. The letter was spearheaded by Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Marco Rubio and signed by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer , Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark R. Warner , and committee member John Cornyn .
The alarm was immediately raised after a Business Korea report on Sept. 6 found that Apple had added YMTC to its list of NAND flash suppliers for the iPhone 14. The company had previously used NAND flashes from Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Kioxia.YMTC, described as a state-run enterprise, and China itself recently overtook Taiwan to become the world's leading supplier of parts to Apple.
