Senior Republican and Democratic lawmakers have sent a stern warning to Apple's CEO, urging the company to prevent the use of chips linked to the Chinese military in its products, according to a report.
Senior Republican and Democratic lawmakers have reportedly sent a stern warning to Apple's CEO, urging the company to block the use of chips linked to the Chinese military in its products. The warning underscores growing bipartisan concern in Washington over potential security risks posed by Chinese technology in American consumer devices.
As The Zioneer previously reported, the White House has restricted advanced AI models over concerns about Chinese access, and senior Trump administration officials have accused a Chinese AI firm of illegally obtaining Nvidia chips. These developments reflect a broader US effort to curb Chinese influence in the technology supply chain.
The specific warning to Apple has not been officially confirmed, and the full text of the letter was not disclosed. The report did not specify which lawmakers were involved or whether Apple has responded.
