Apple is lobbying the Trump administration for clearance to buy memory chips from China’s CXMT. The proposed move could lower costs, but CXMT’s place on a Pentagon blacklist may trigger strong political resistance.

      Go to the nearest country where you can buy it for cheap?

      For me, it would be Singapore.

    Doesn’t an iPhone cost 10$ 585$ to make? I mean how much or a margin do they need to remain profitable?

    Also, this just means they will buy cheap chips and add the apple tax and still sell you overpriced hardware and pocket the difference.

      Prob more like half the MSRP which really that doesn’t sound too crazy when you remember they have to cover more than the cost of the phone itself to make a profit. Still insane that they feel the need to make it faster rather than better battery life, cheaper, and larger storage as tech improves.
