The Apple supply chain relies on multiple companies when it comes to memory. Samsung already provides Apple with a lot of the memory for its manufacturing needs, but its share should be expanding in the coming years.
According to sources of Korea Economic Daily, Apple’s renewals of long-term agreements will be more beneficial for Samsung. Apple will reportedly increase the amount of memory it sources from Samsung to about 60% to 70% of the iPhone 17 supply.
