According to reports, all requirements have been met. The first shipment of NAND chips will begin in May. <\/p>\n<p>On one hand, Yangtze is one generation behind Samsung and other memory-chip makers. So this in turn means that Apple will use Yangtze&#8217;s NAND flash for its entry-level handsets, such as this year&#8217;s iPhone SE. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-03-31\/apple-said-to-weigh-more-memory-chip-suppliers-including-china\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-image\">https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/03\/apple-new-memory-chip-supplier\/-952x498w6\/gsmarena_000.jpg<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-link\">https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/apple_looking_to_diversify_its_memory_chip_supply_chain-news-53809.php?rand=119<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple looking to diversify its memory chip supply chain According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple is looking for a third supplier of its NAND memory chips.
