Huawei's New Phone Powered By 7nm Chip Despite US Sanctions, Apple Reels From China iPhone Ban

Huawei's new Mate 60 Pro smartphone features a cutting-edge 7-nanometer Kirin 9000S chip, representing a significant technological achievement for a Chinese mainland-based manufacturer. This achievement comes despite US restrictions imposed since 2019, which limited Huawei's access to advanced chip-making tools. China has emphasised its openness to products and services from any country that complies with its laws. Apple's shares recently fell due to reports of the Chinese government expanding its iPhone ban in state institutions, impacting Apple's significant presence in the Chinese market. Apple released an emergency software update to address security vulnerabilities, marking the 15th such update this year.
