With the recurrence of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the global shortage of chip has not been effectively alleviated. As the "leader" in the chip foundry industry, TSMC has previously reported that chip prices have risen. Recently, Taiwan's Economic Daily officially reported that the price of TSMC foundry chips has been confirmed to rise.
It is reported that the price range of TSMC foundry chips is generally more than 10%, including consumer-grade chips, driver chips, high-voltage processes, etc. Even so, it is reported that TSMC's orders have been scheduled until the end of 2022 and are still in short supply.
At the same time, there are also reports that due to the rise in TSMC chip prices, the price of iPhone 13 may also be raised accordingly. In this regard, some industry insiders also said that the iPhone 13 series is about to be released, and there is little possibility of temporary adjustment of the release price. It is reported that the iPhone 13 series mobile phones will be officially released at the Apple autumn new product launch conference in September.
