A representative of TSMC told Reuters yesterday that the company is doing literally everything it can to cover as much as possible the insufficient production of microchips that are made in its factories. However, according to the words of its representative, the company expects that the shortage will also manifest itself during 2022, which may negatively affect Apple, which uses TSMC to manufacture processors for its iPhones, iPads, and now Macs with M1 chips (and its future variantami).
Apple will not avoid some limitations in product availability, as originally expected. On the one hand, there is a risk of shortages from TSMC, on the other hand, there are talks of problems in other parts of the supply chain - especially with regard to display modules for iPad Pros and chips for motherboards of some MacBookat.
Behind the lack of computersonent is facing several factors, starting from the covid-19 pandemic, through water problems in Taiwanese factories and extreme cold in Texas, which resulted in some factories having to be suspended. In addition, due to changes in the lifestyle of a huge number of people, interest in computing technology has increased, which complicates the whole situation even more. TSMC wants to combat this problem through new manufacturing plants that are currently being built. The company is investing over $ 100 billion in them and their completion and start of operation are expected sometime in 2024.
