Apple and Nintendo feel chip shortage pinch tightening

Apple is prioritising iPhone over iPad in the supply crisis.

Apple has cut back production of iPad tablets to allocate more components to the iPhone 13, a sign the global chip supply crunch is hitting the tech giant harder than previously indicated.

Production of the iPad was down half from Apple's original plans for the past two months, while parts intended for older iPhones were also being switched to the iPhone 13, according to a report.
