Bible 1Q22: Smartphones - Demand plummets in China with lockdowns, remains strong elsewhere.

Our Tech Bible is a must-read for any tech investor. It wraps up all what the >130 companies we track have reported and said and provides an update on our key perspectives and convictions, in light of what we learnt. 

We publish today the first section on smartphones. In 1Q22, shipments were down against pre-covid levels as a result of a complex situation. iPhone had another strong quarter, as Apple continues to mitigate supply constraints by shifting demand towards the higher end of the portfolio. Semi content growth is set to slowdown, and Wall Street sees it coming as expectations drifted down during the course of the quarter, although they popped back up on the back of another set of strong earnings.
