I am just sadden to see this question constantly being floated. Someday Apple will make their own memory, own chip, own Fab. It makes zero sense for them to do so. People don't seems to realise how commodity works. When price is high everyone is saying it is a cartel. When they are losing money they say it is tough luck.

Yeah. Everyone seems to forget that making memory was considered a bad business just a decade ago.

The current memory crisis it’s just another/final nail in the coffin for Apple moving the design and engineering of memory in house they have the capability and they have the money to do so.

May be Apple should purchase Intel or TSMC first? So they could be their own Foundry? What about ASML so they could produce the machine that fabs requires?

And the current memory crisis? There is no crisis for Apple. There is only crisis for others buying at spot price.

Apple doesn’t need to buy them just need to continue to partner with TSMC, as far as Intel is concerned why would they buy or work with them now? Intel is absolutely low end these days and they were the company that said no to Apple when Apple wanted them to design the chip for the iPhone, Intel couldn’t imagine a future where computing was smaller better faster and hence they missed the mobile revolution take Intel at their word the future just isn’t for them.

So why would Apple need to make their own memory? The theory is exactly the same. They just need to continue to partner with their NAND and DRAM vendors.
