Apple was working round the clock with its supply chain so it could maintain a healthy iPhone 12 shipments tally. The technology giant is expected to ship up to 80 million units of its newest models, but it appears that the progress to reach that goal has hit a temporary roadblock. That’s because Apple is apparently experiencing trouble when it comes to procuring a steady supply of power management chips for the iPhone 12, and during the holiday season, this setback couldn’t have arrived at a worse time for the company.

People familiar with the matter reportedly spoke to Bloomberg about the trouble Apple is facing when securing power management chips for the iPhone 12. The report states that the shortage is largely due to the trade restrictions and supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This could have an adverse impact on the overall sales for Apple, especially when it’s the holiday season and consumer spending hits the roof.
