Apple has been forced to

reduce the production of iPads to use components, such as chips, in the iPhone 13

, a measure that the technology company has implemented as a result of the

shortage of supplies

and in particular of semiconductors at a global level.

As reported by Nikkei, Apple

has cut the production of these tablets

, which share different components with the iPhone 13, to allocate its chips to these phones and prioritize their sale given the global shortage of supplies.

In addition to having slowed the manufacture of these devices by

50% in the last two months

(taking into account that the iPhone 13 began to be marketed at the end of September), Apple has chosen to reduce the production of older iPhones as well.

The company has focused on the manufacture of its latest launch because, as it is a novelty, it

expects a greater demand with respect to the iPad as

Western markets return to show pre-pandemic indexes, according to this medium.

Due to this lack of electronic components, a situation that stems from a massive demand for devices during lockdown, Apple found itself in a similar situation in 2020, when it

reassigned some parts of the iPad to the iPhone 12.

The losses generated by the shortage of chips have been millions of dollars.

As Apple's chief financial officer, Luca Maestri, has assured in a recent interview for the Financial Times, the company has stopped earning

$ 6 billion.
