The Wall Street Journal reported that smartphone manufacturers were forced to raise prices for devices. The reason for this is the shortage of microcircuits.
The journalists said that the prices for components have been growing for several months in a row, in addition, the delivery times are increasing. The manufacturers' stocks have already been exhausted.
Due to the semiconductor crisis, Google has already announced that the Pixel 5a 5G smartphones will only be sold in the US and Japan. Chinese manufacturers have begun to raise prices even for already released smartphones. For example, Xiaomi has raised the cost of the Redmi Note 10 from $ 161 to $ 174. This is almost 8% more. The companies are also delaying the delivery of smartphones.
Experts warn that Apple and Samsung may change the prices for their new products, which will be released in August-September 2021.
