Shulou(Shulou.com)05/31 Report--

The chips are out of stock in 2021. When chips are out of stock, smartphone brands cannot meet the needs of consumers. Analysts believe the shortage could last until 2022. The store? We have never heard Apple complain about shortage. Not only that, Apple plans to revamp its chips in the chaos.

According to a new report from Wave7 Research, which reports on the US mobile phone market every month, it is a smart move for Apple to predict chip shortages before other OEMs realize it. "sources told Wave7 Research that Apple may lock in chipset supplies in advance. Jeff Moore, head of Wave7, said this was not the case with other OEMs.

According to the report, the shortage is very uneven. Wave7 reported that it was "uneven in terms of operators, channels and even stores". ATT is least affected by chip shortages because it sells the most iPhone. But operators like T-Mobile, which sells all brands of smartphones, including one plus, said the shortage was affecting "everyone except Apple".

"the overall share of iPhone in July did not decline as expected before the iPhone release in September. The continued flexibility of iPhone 12 and Samsung inventory problems are the main factors contributing to this situation."

Interestingly, the problem extends from operators and OEMs to smartphone models. According to Wave7, Samsung's flagship smartphones are not in short supply, while Galaxy A02s, Note 20, Galaxy A01, Galaxy A21 and Galaxy A51 are all out of stock in Verizon.

"the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Ultra were Samsung's best-selling products in the July survey."

One plus may also be affected by a shortage of chips. The Nord N200 was the No. 1 smartphone in Metro stores in July, with a share of 20%. However, due to a shortage of some OnePlus equipment, its share fell to 10 per cent in August.

But at the same time, at T-Mobile, the chip shortage is a glimmer of hope for every cloud. One plus's share in T-Mobile reached 8%, an all-time high.

"the shortage of Samsung phones has helped consolidate Yiga's position as a top alternative to Android," the report said. "

In any case, the chip shortage is likely to last into next year. This could be the reason for the delay in Samsung's Galaxy S21 FE, or it could cause problems for upcoming smartphones.
