Congo’s government is questioning Apple about the tech company’s knowledge of “blood minerals” from a conflict zone in the African country that could be smuggled into supply chains
It could be a De Beers situation where Apple has essentially cornered the market in these minerals, but I have my doubts because I doubt Apple is making hardware that needs these minerals and, say, Google is not. Sure, Apple’s M3 chip is proprietary, but I would be surprised if it needed some sort of unique mineral composition.

apples not producing the chip in house, only the design. if apple had control of the materials, it would be the non cpu/memory conponents.
