Mar 02,2021

March 1 news, the end of last year, many global car companies, due to chip shortages, have reduced production or even stopped production.


As the shortage of chips grows worse, the "chip shortage" continues to spread, including PC, mobile phone, game console industries have also been affected.


Do some netizens worry that this year's phones will be more challenging to buy?


According to people in the mobile phone supply chain, the delivery period of Qualcomm's whole series of materials has been extended to more than 30 weeks, and the delivery cycle of CSR Bluetooth audio chips has reached more than 33 weeks.


Also, handset manufacturers, including Huawei and Oppo, and Vivo and OnePlus, are ramping up their mobile phone products' stock, which undoubtedly increases the imbalance between chip supply and demand.

There are too few chips this year, not too few, but very few.


The realme-related person in charge also said that the Qualcomm main chip, small material, is out of stock, including power supply and radiofrequency devices.


The announcement comes on the heels of Apple's claim that parts shortages have hampered sales of some of its new high-end iPhones.


In response, Apple CEO Tim Cook told investors that the company is working very hard to address the ongoing supply problem, but it is unclear how long the shortage will last.


Analysts have pointed to shortages of mobile processors, PMIC power management chips, and MCU microprocessor chips.


From the market as a whole out of the stock situation, the global lack of core will continue until the end of this year.


Several mobile phone manufacturers will launch their flagship new phones in March. Whether the shortage of chips will affect the expected sales target, we need to wait for further information from manufacturers.
