Apple’s supply chain crisis has led to a decline in iPhone13 production
Apple Stock News: Apple’s factory in Jiangsu province in China has been potentially affected by government power rationing. More recently, apple’s supply chain woes have been compounded by a shortage of raw materials for the iPhone. According to Yahoo Finance, Apple had planned to produce 90 million new iPhones in the fourth quarter. However, production is expected to be reduced because its suppliers Texas Instruments (TXN) and Broadcom (AVGO) cannot supply the required number of components. Texas Instruments supplies OLED display components to Apple and gets wireless components from Broadcom. The simultaneous shortages at Texas Instruments and Broadcom will have a ripple effect through Apple’s supply chain.
As a result, Apple is expected to cut its production guidance for the iPhone 13 by as much as 10 million units because of component shortages.
