Apple is actively testing CXMT DRAM across iPhone and MacBook lines for potential use in China-market devices amid a severe 2026 memory shortage driven by AI demand diverting production from Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron. However, the Pentagon’s blacklist over alleged PLA ties requires White House clearance that faces congressional opposition, while CXMT’s near-full utilization through 2027—prioritizing domestic buyers like Huawei and Xiaomi—leaves minimal spare capacity at non-competitive prices. These regulatory, capacity, and political barriers sustain the 57.5% market-implied odds against a completed purchase this year.
