Better get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding Apple's ECC patents on LPDDR ECC or you will have to make a leap of faith that your database on their chips won't wind up cruddy in a Bad Way. All we have now are assumptions and educated guesses about what they may be doing. It's also going to be an issue with AMD 395+ and nVidia+MediaTek GB10 (but I would assume NO ECC on those SoCs, based on their history).
It may only be a few mm to the LPDDR5 arrays inside the SoC, but there are all sorts of environmental/thermal/power and RFi considerations, especially on tiny (3-5nm) nodes! Switch on the numerical control machine on the other side of the wall from your office and hope your data doesn't change.
