Severe shortage caused the longest waiting period for the iPhone 13 series, and Apple’s market value has evaporated over 1.4143 billion

Out of stock, or out of stock.

The iPhone 13pro ordered ten days ago has not been shipped until now.

Affected by the shortage of chips, Apple’s ability to deliver new mobile phones to customers is also under pressure.

According to media reports, Apple originally produced 90 million iPhone 13 series phones in the fourth quarter of this year. .

Check the major e-commerce websites. At present, in addition to the normal delivery of iPhone 13 and iPhone 13mini, iPhone 13pro and iPhone 13pro max are all out of stock, and the delivery time is also undetermined. Some media have investigated some stores where they can get the goods on the spot, and the above two mobile phones need to be increased by more than 1,000 yuan.

So, when can the shortage of cores be alleviated? When will the public realize the iPhone 13pro and iPhone 13 pro max will be shipped immediately?

In fact, this year’s chip shortage has not only affected the mobile phone industry, automobiles and other consumer electronics have been seriously affected.

On October 13, Tesla customer support had announced that due to the shortage of chips and cost fluctuations, the price of Tesla’s mobile charging connector (national standard) was raised by 400 yuan from now on.

As early as May of this year, Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group China, had judged that the global mobile phone core shortage will affect at least the next year, and processor chips, screen driver chips, and power charging chips are the most short-lived chips in the mobile phone industry.

The Counterpoint Research report shows that due to the global chip shortage, many smartphone OEMs and suppliers only received about 80% of the demand for component orders in the second quarter of this year. In the third quarter, the situation is even more serious. Some manufacturers may only get about 70% of the supply.

The shortage of chips is a problem, and the heavy rain in Zhengzhou before is also a reason. As an important iPhone production base in Zhengzhou, the previous heavy rain did have a certain impact on Apple’s supply.

As early as when the iPhone 13 series was released, Apple was actually well prepared. Not only that, but Apple also entrusted orders to the upstream and downstream of the supply chain very early. To this end, Foxconn urgently recruited 200,000 people to ensure that the iPhone 13 is on sale and also on the hot search.

On September 17, after the pre-sale of the iPhone 13 series began, the “second light” phenomenon appeared on all major platforms. What is even more “terrifying” is that Chinese users once bought Apple’s official website.

The main reason for the hot sales of the iPhone 13 series is that the new products have not increased in price, and some models even have a slight price reduction.

Some analysts believe that it is possible that the supply of iPhone 13pro and iPhone 13pro max in the first quarter of next year will be completely resolved.

At the moment, we can obviously feel that the shortage of iPhone 13pro and iPhone 13pro max is more serious than that of ordinary products, and this series has indeed set the longest waiting period for Apple.

I believe that with the outbreak of the epidemic and the further release of global chip production capacity, it is expected that the shortage of goods in the first quarter of next year may be alleviated, provided that there are no other emergencies.

Data show that since September this year, Apple’s stock price has fallen by nearly 9% from the high point, and the market value has evaporated by more than 220 billion U.S. dollars (approximately RMB 14143 billion). If the shortage problem continues to spread, it may also cause a little pressure on Apple’s performance in the future.
