Can you show me where China makes the software for the Apple SoC? Nothing I’ve read supports that and it’d be in Apples best interest by far to ensure that it’s the exact code intended.

Simply having a chip made in China doesn’t mean it’s written by the Chinese or they have final say (though Apple is probably one of VERY few businesses that can say that).

I’m 100% pro Chinese bugs in everything, TikTok is spyware, Huwai is spyware, but the basis of what you’re implying is wrong - that it’s Chinese written - so your implications are suspect as well

Just looked at the instruction set source and yeah, not Chinese.

Also, TSMC is Taiwan so while final production may occur in China, what you’re saying about the chip is bollocks

Also, saying it’s not beyond their capacity while simultaneously claiming it’s true (ignoring the other fallacies) doesn’t work out man
