> "High Bandwidth Memory", or HBM2 (since we're on version 2 of that tech now), HBM2 is on the order of 1024-bit lanes per chip-stack. It is extremely misleading for Apple to issue a press-release claiming they have "high bandwidth memory".
Considering how few people know what HBM2 is, the idea that Apple is trying to make any claims that their solution uses HBM2 seems weird.

They've literally got products with HBM2 in it. Note: LPDDR4x RAM is typically called "Low Power" RAM, in fact, that's exactly what LPDDR4x is for. Its designed to be a low-power consumption ram for extended battery life. It takes a special level of marketing (ie: misleading / misdirection) to buy two chips of "low power" RAM, and try to sell it as "high bandwidth RAM".
