Why do you think the Chinese wouldn’t gladly sell Apple memory?

Aren't they on a sanctions list? Would the US government let them buy it?

If I recall Apple was planning on buying it pending permission from the US Government, and when the memory maker got wind their price sheet went up to match Samsung, making it pretty pointless as they had supply, it was price that was a problem for Apple.

Depends on whether there will be a sane government anytime in the future.

You're from hackernews, hackernews is terrible and you're a terrible commenter. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Why are you talking about memory? Nobody cares about memory. You know what people care about? People care about ballrooms, and you know what, the US has the best!

People who know ballrooms say the US is hot right now, hotter than anywhere else in the world, because we're building the best ballroom in the world. Can you imagine that? China is nowhere on ballrooms.

It might be the opposite. Chinese DRAM isn't yet of same quality that Apple is used to.
