The global shortage of components and chips affects all smartphone manufacturers except Apple

According to a new study by Wave7 Research, the wireless industry, the current global shortage of components and chips affects all smartphone manufacturers except Apple.

Analysts point out that the chip shortage has mainly affected manufacturers of low-cost Android smartphones, especially Samsung and one plus. Experts estimate that OnePlus's market share fell to 10 per cent in August due to the lack of certain models.

Samsung, in turn, gives priority to producing flagships because the Galaxy S21 and S21 Ultra are stable and many stores do not have cheaper devices.

Interestingly, Apple doesn't have such a problem. Sources told Wave7 Research that Apple could order chipset delivery months in advance.

Based on this, we can assume that there will be no particular shortage of iPhone 13 before the New year holiday.
