The current chip storage mildly affected its first-quarter 2022 results, but it did for its previous quarter. Apple made approximately a $6 billion revenue loss due to chip shortage and supply chain challenges. Going onwards things might improve, CEO Tim Cook says “we’re forecasting that we will be less in March than we were in the December quarter.”
As usual, we will be seeing a refresh of its product line for this year. The earliest to launch will probably be a 5G iPhone SE, an updated iPad Air and just maybe a new Mac Mini.
