From NVIDIA and AMD to automakers like GM, the global chip shortage has affected nearly every industry that depends on computer components, and now it’s even hurting smartphone manufacturers. According to Canalys, phone shipments dropped by six percent year-over-year in the third quarter of 2021. The firm says much of that is due to component shortages that made it impossible for those companies to meet consumer demand.According to a preliminary estimate, Samsung shipped the most devices in Q3 2021, claiming a 23 percent share of the market. For the South Korean company, the good news is that it’s no worse off now than it was a year ago. Reclaiming the second spot, Apple managed to increase its share of the market by 3 percentage points year-over-year.🌐📱Q321 smartphones down 6%👉 Vendors struggled to meet demand for devices amid component shortages. 👉 #Samsung - 23% share. 👉 #Apple - 15% share👉 #Xiaomi - 14% share 👉 #vivo and #OPPO took 10% ea
