Bible 2Q21: Smartphones – shipments weakening in a supply-constrained environment

Our Tech Bible is a must-read for any tech investor. It wraps up all what the >120 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. Total shipments started to normalise after 3 consecutive strong quarters, as supply deteriorated across the board. Demand for iPhone was again particularly strong, and we remain concerned of a slowdown in FY22.
