According to DigiTimes, Apple Inc plans to increase the price of the upcoming iPhone 13 series, so as to offset the rising chip costs caused by the rising prices of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd, a major chip supplier.
Apple Inc is expected to release iPhone 13 and Apple Watch 7 online in a few weeks, and the new generation of Apple Inc's mobile phone may add professional camera and photography functions.
Earlier, Cook, president of Apple Inc, officially said to the outside world that some of Apple Inc's products will be out of stock in the second half of the year due to the shortage of process capacity such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd 5nm.
COVID-19 epidemic has made a comeback, the global semiconductor supply has not alleviated, and many analysts expect the wafer shortage problem to last until 2023-2024.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd plans to raise its wafer foundry price by at least 10% in the first quarter of 2022, the first time the company has adjusted its wafer foundry price in recent years, according to the Industrial and Commercial Times.
Among them, the price of 7 nm and more advanced process chips has been increased by 10%. The price of mature process chips with 16 nm and above has been raised by 10% to 20%.
In fact, many wafer foundries have raised their foundry quotations this year, including United Microelectronics Corp and Liji, etc., and prices are on an upward trend quarter by quarter.
