Apple Expecting iPhone and iPad Supply Constraints in September Quarter

[rui no onna]

From investors point of view September is a quarter. It’s Sep to Dec, or Q4.

Assuming we’re going by IRS, that should be July to September. Which fiscal quarter it is depends on when the company was established.

For example, the fiscal year at my work is from July to June so July to September 2021 is actually Q1 of FY 2022 for us.

Iirc, Apple’s fiscal year is October to September.

Hahaha you though waiting until July for an ipad since April was bad, wait till the iphone gets out

According to the Wall Street Journal a month ago, the priority from TSMC for chip delivery was 1) iPhones/Apple 2) Automobile 3) Desktops/laptops so we might be okay.

As long as I can get my new iPhone 13 at launch, I'm happy

Why do I feel like I see this news the same exact time every year?

In other news, water is wet.

Till now Apple has not been impacted severely by chip shortages. Might not be that much of an issue going forward.

Not good. All these supply chain constraints are getting really old.

Marketing 101 talk…

Hoping this does not delay September's event. People are waiting what Apple has in store.

Is this a marketing trick for you to upgrade to get a new iPhone this September?

When have we heard Supply is not constrained at the product launch... Never.

The 8/8Plus and XS/XS Max were not constrained during their launches.
