  • Customers look at the iPhone 13 Pro at an Apple store at a shopping mall the day before Black Friday in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on November 25, 2021. Across Canada the new iPhone 13 Pro has been almost impossible to purchase in stores due to global supply chain issues coupled with high demand and a global microchip shortage. Many consumers who purchased the new iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone 13 Pro Max online have been waiting 2-3 months for back-ordered iPhones to be delivered to Apple before they can be shipped to consumers. Other electronic and mobile stores have all been sold out including big chains like Best Buy, who have been telling customers that back-ordered iPhones have an estimated delivery date of 1-2 months before they reach stores. Apple said on Thursday it lost the equivalent of $6 billion USD in sales due to chip shortages. The semiconductor shortage has led to calls for more chip production within the U.S. as part of shoring up supply chains for key technology across sectors including autos.
