A report cited by 9to5Mac, referencing Taiwan supply-chain outlet DigiTimes, said Apple plans to roll out more than 15 new product lines this fall.

China-led low-spec HBM front expands, raising concerns over impact on Korean memory profits
China’s memory push is moving into high-bandwidth memory, with CXMT seeking mass production of HBM3 and reallocating 20% of capacity, or 60,000 wafers a month, to HBM. While China may struggle to catch up quickly, analysts warn the bigger risk is price disruption as legacy DRAM output shrinks and AI-focused memory expands. TrendForce expects narrowing price gaps between HBM3E and DDR5, potentially squeezing margins below HBM4.
