Apple warns suppliers over dwindling iPhone 13 series demand

02 December 2021
Consumers seem fed up with the limited supply of the iPhone 13 series.

Sort by:

I kinda don't like that my Razr 5G only has Snapdragon 765G. It's noticeably slower than a Snapdragon 888. But you know what? It's liveable! So it can't play GameCube. No big deal. It can play up to Dreamcast and PSP very smoothly. Wasn't like the original RAZR were known for their amazing specs.

Living with a Snapdragon 765G is very liveable for half a decade because it's slightly more powerful than a Snapdragon 835 and the 835 would still do well even today. People are just spending thousands of dollars to chase higher numbers. To say you own the latest and greatest. But in the end, the difference are negligible. It's a very wasteful hobby buying phones all the time.

        My brother just upgraded to an iPhone 13 Pro after using an iPhone X for 4 years. It wasn't the same X for all 4 years because the first one got water damage in 2019. Told me the 13 Pro isn't much different than the X. Why am I not surprised?

        Phones can last years and years. Just stop watching techtubers. They need something to talk about. Most consumers will be fine using a current phone for 5 years. The ones who want to switch to a new phone every 1 or 2 years are just bored with their lives. Always want that new toy.

            Make something about those ugly punch holes and horns, then we can talk.

I agree, people here are seriously rude over nothing especially when it comes to Apple. If they did not owned their device then how can they know that they're bad or else.

              Apple has its downsides just like android has too, hating on them won't solve anything and praising android above sky like it's i don't know what.
              Just comment respectful.

                Apple fixing it's price too much based on buying capacity of crazy apple lovers. If people starts showing less interest in their phones they will reduce their price. Samsung guru music is basic phone which comes with charger and earphone in the box for the price of ₹2600. But when you buy iphone 12 for ₹60,000 you have to buy charger and earphone separately. Apple is making us customers fools and charging us extra money for what they are supposed give in the box.

                    Look, I'm not an iPhone fan as much as the next guy, but half these comments did not have to comment here if they didn't care so much. How many children are on this site?

                      Why does anybody care? It's just a product, something you have to give money for. I use a Samsung and if they close the company tomorrow I don't care. Why should I? Companies are here because of us and not the other way around.

                        I still have my iPhone XS and I still don't see the need to upgrade. Apple always give long support for iOS, so I have no problem using my existing XS until iOS 17.

                          Hard to sell something which isn't available, i hope as many as possible can enjoy this great phone in the future, been using mine since launch.

                              That is what they get for scalping Apple, consumers are not willing to pay these outlandish prices for a damn phone! Now they are gonna have no sales at all until they fix the shit.

                                It’s a good thing my iPhone 3GS is still working! I’ll probably upgrade when the 2023 iPhone comes out.

                                        People can't seem to decide whether there is too much or too little demand for iPhones.
