Production of some of Apple’s MacBook and iPad models has been delayed due to global chip shortages. According to the Nikkei Asia report, the global chip shortage continues to be a major reason for MacBook production delays.
The report, citing industry sources and experts, said the delay is a sign that chip shortages are now becoming more serious and may affect smaller tech giants even more. Reportedly, some iPad assemblies were postponed due to lack of display and display components. Although production plans for Apple’s iconic iPhone have not been affected by the supply shortage so far, there has been some impact on the supply of some components for the device.
The report said that Apple’s rival Samsung Electronics recently confirmed that the chip shortage could definitely cause problems for the company in the period of April to June. However, the company has also said that the team of their employees is working round the clock to resolve this issue.
The Apple company sells about 200 million iPhones, more than 20 million MacBooks, 19 million iPads and more than 70 million AirPods in a year. All these devices fall in the top five globally in their respective consumer electronics segment.
Chip shortage also delays router delivery
Let us know that due to lack of chip, broadband providers are facing delays of more than a year by ordering Internet routers. Chip shortages are impacting the global supply chain. Because of this, those working from home are getting difficult. According to people familiar with the matter, people have been given more than 60 weeks for delivery, which is twice the previous wait time.
The demand for domestic broadband devices has increased due to the lockdown caused by the coronavirus virus a year ago, said Carsten Gavke, head of European regional business for Taiwan-based router maker Zyxel Communications Corp. He said, since January, the company had asked customers to order products in advance a year ago as the lead time for components such as chips from Broadcom Inc. has doubled since then.
