Is there any data for this? TBH, It doesn't pass the smell-test for me. Apple has a tiny product range, meanwhile companies like Samsung sell everything from chips, screens, and other components, to phones, laptops, tvs, etc, etc. Or even Dell, which has a massive product range; Our company purchased a ton of hardware from them during covid with no lead time issues - at-least on the things we wanted.
- kennend3 4y ago> Apple has a tiny product range This is how apple manages supply chain issues.. By having a few products it is much easier to manage. More so when many of your products dont change much year-to-year. How long has the ipad frame been the exact same size?
- waste_monk 4y agoFWIW we had some pretty weird lead times with Dell during the worst of COVID. They did re-engineer some products to deal with chip shortages e.g. the D6000 docking stations were replaced with D6000S models that had no 3.5mm headphone jack (presmuably due to a scarcity of DAC chips). Network switch hardware still has some brutal delays at the moment, have been advised of 250+ day lead times for switches (across different models and manufacturers).
