Due to the global chip crisis and inflation, phone prices will gradually increase in the coming days. It is stated that the world’s 2 largest smartphone manufacturers have also slowed down the production line in the factories and will introduce fewer devices to the market. According to the last table, the estimated loss is more than 50 million units.
Phone prices will rise with the decision of Samsung and Apple’s chip crisis!
Samsung and Apple have taken a decision that will have an impact on smartphone prices due to the chip crisis and rising inflation. Accordingly, both companies have reduced the number of devices that will come off the production line this year. Its total size has reached 50 million pieces.
Samsung produced close to 330 million devices in the past year. It was expected to produce 310 million units this year. It was even said that the Galaxy S22 series could increase the total production due to the good sales. However, according to the information revealed, it decided to reduce it to 280 million units.
A similar situation is experienced by Apple. It was predicted that 240 million iPhones would be produced in 2022. However, according to the latest news, it is aimed to produce 20 million less than 220 million units.
Apple’s decision was not surprising. Because the statements made by the companies that have agreed for panel and chip production in the past period were the harbinger of this decision. But we can say that it was a surprise for Samsung. Because in the first quarter of 2022, 75 million smartphones were sold and captured the summit.
Let’s say that this decision actually came about in an effort to keep smartphone prices stable. Because, as we explained in our article, which we left the link above and which you can access by clicking here, companies will have to increase prices if they do not decide to cut production.
However, as a result of this decision, stock problems in our country will increase, perhaps even if not in the USA. We will also see prices rise due to stockist sellers. Of course, due to the dollar rate and both local and global inflation, it is estimated that these devices will come to our country at a higher price.
