Seems to me that buying a 2 year supply of CPUs is not a great strategic measure since 2 years out your competitors will have faster chips or paying far less than you in 2 years for the chips sitting in your inventory.
Obviously if the alternative is to not have CPUs, it's the only choice they have, but its going to put them in a rough place competitively.
- notatoad 6y agothere's still a ton of new phones shipping with two-year-old chips in them. obviously, for new designs they won't choose to integrate chips that they can't source, but having a supply of chips they can no longer source means they can continue to manufacture their current models.
