Huawei plans to release its most advanced domestically made phone chip, despite U.S. sanctions. The chip will be included in some phones from the Mate 70 series, challenging Apple in the high-end market. Huawei's market share in China has risen to 15.3%, and it has seen success due to nationalistic buying and features like powerful cameras and AI functions. While Huawei's chips still trail Apple's, they may not make a practical difference for users. Huawei has sidestepped sanctions with its domestic technology, including its own operating system called HarmonyOS Next. However, some issues with manufacturing bottlenecks for the Mate 70 series have been reported.
