Even though it's been over a month since the iPhone 12 series was released, it's still currently out of stock and has seen more serious price hikes from third-party channels. When exactly will this happen? As far as the Taiwanese media is concerned, it'll have to wait until next year at the earliest.
According to Taiwan's Economic Daily News, in general, demand for Apple's iPhone 12 Pro has exceeded expectations, causing supply to become a big issue, and the iPhone 12 Pro series in particular will continue to be in short supply.
According to the report, the iPhone 12 Pro supply constraints are due to persistent IC stock-outs, tight foundry capacity for advanced process chips, and a lack of backing supply, which will continue beyond the second quarter of next year.
It's worth noting that a previous report from analyst Ming-Da Kuo made a similar point, suggesting that higher-than-expected demand for the iPhone 12 Pro lineup has somewhat offset the embarrassment of the lack of sales of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini, with the entire iPhone 12 lineup outperforming expectations.
All in all, as the first generation of iPhones to support 5 G networks, consumers have plenty of reasons to replace their phones.
