Chip shortage limits Apple’s Mac and iPad sales

Apple announced its third-quarter results for fiscal 2021. According to the report, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, Apple’s net revenue from Mac was US$8.235 billion, compared with US$7.079 billion in the same period in 2020, and net revenue increased; Apple’s net revenue from iPad Revenue was 7.368 billion U.S. dollars, compared with 6.582 billion U.S. dollars in the same period in 2020, net revenue has also increased.

I believe that without the need for linear motor manufacturers to say more, everyone knows that in 2020, due to the impact of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, the sales of Apple’s Mac and iPad are not satisfactory. This year, although the new coronary pneumonia epidemic has been controlled, but The impact is still there. In addition, the shortage of chips also limits the sales of Apple’s Mac and iPad. This is mainly due to the shortage of secondary chips made by the old technology used in iPad and Mac.

In fact, since 2021, the problem of chip shortage has spread from the automotive industry to the electronics industry, and there has been a “core shortage” in many areas. Speaking of chips, its R&D and production are closely related to linear motors. The lithography machine supported by linear motors is an indispensable equipment for chip development. To some extent, the shortage of chips is also related to the supply of equipment for research and development of smart chips. The chain is related, that is, it is more or less related to the linear motor.

Kunshan Tongmao Electronics Co., Ltd. is a linear motor manufacturer with more than ten years of historical experience. Tongmao’s self-developed, self-produced and self-sold linear motors have practical application cases in lithography machines, such as Shanghai Microelectronics (domestic lithography) Smart manufacturer) is our cooperating customer with Mao.
