The processor market has been facing a chip shortage due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Several OEMs have been affected and are forced to postpone their upcoming gadgets for a while. Huawei’s P50 series has been introduced in the second half of the year, which was supposed to come in the second quarter. While the Huawei Mate 50 may be shifted to the first half of 2022.
Meanwhile, Apple which is barely affected by the chip shortage will launch its next-generation iPhone 13 devices soon. These new iPhones will further increase its processor share.
