According to the Korean IT media “Digital Daily” quoting industry insiders, Apple previously considered incorporating China's Changxin Storage into the new supply chain in order to reduce costs, but now it is facing resistance in negotiations to further reduce procurement prices. Apple recently negotiated with Changxin Storage on the supply price of mobile DRAM such as LPDDR5X in order to ease the manufacturing cost pressure of next-generation iPhones and other smart devices, but their price reduction request was rejected. According to information, the price that Changxin Storage insists on is even higher than Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, or at least at a similar level to the two. In the past, Apple had strong purchasing and bargaining power in the consumer electronics market, but now it has run into a “hard nail” with tough pricing from suppliers. The core reason why Changxin Storage has dared to resolutely reject Apple's price reduction request is that Chinese tech giants such as Huawei and Xiaomi are “sweeping goods” on a large scale. Under these circumstances, there is no need for Changxin Storage to actively lower prices and reduce profits due to Apple's complex and strict quality certification and price reduction requirements. Some analysts believe that strong demand in China's domestic market has provided strong price support for Changxin Storage.
