The sales of the devices lead the way in many cases on the priorities of supply to large companies. It is not the same to provide a product to a company that sells 5 than to one that sells 15 using the components that you sell ... This that seen on a small scale may seem insignificant, when you spend it on a large scale and also with the shortage of components and raw materials that we currently have, it becomes a priority for many factories.
High demand for iPhone 13 makes Apple a priority in sourcing
The fact is that Apple is one of the large companies that has a high demand for its devices when they go on the market and of course the supplier companies know this. Therefore, when it comes to supplying someone, it will always be better to supply the one who sells more, in this case Apple. According to the DigiTimes report shown by the half AppleInsider, right now Apple has "priority" over other brands They use the same camera components for their devices.
Something similar happened with the manufacturer of TSMC processors a few months ago when he started to manufacture chips for Apple before all other firms and knowing the shortage of components. Does this mean that the other brands have enough product stock or that Apple sold a lot more? Well, this is a question that we cannot answer directly since we do not know the official sales figures for the iPhone 13 and the rest of mobile devices that use the same internal components for their cameras. What does seem clear is that shortages continue to affect all manufacturers and luckily it seems that Apple will continue to be supplied with these as long as sales continue at a good pace.
