I'm not overly worried about Apple in the long run. Its strong pricing power, supplier relationships & cash flow give it clear advantages over most competitors. I think Apple is better positioned than smaller hardware companies to secure supply, even if margins face some short-term pressure.
I'll be watching TSMC's capacity expansion, memory pricing, and whether other consumer-tech companies report similar shortages. If the issue spreads across the industry, it would confirm that AI is reshaping the semiconductor supply chain—not just for data centers, but for consumer electronics as well.

- jinxie·08-04 18:03N3E capacity was only up about 8% QoQ, so Apple's supply edge might not help that much near term. You think margin pressure shows up before shortages do?LikeReport
