Phones of the brands Apple, Samsung and Xiaomi, which account for about 90% of the turnover in Russia, are in short supply, the Vedomosti newspaper reported, citing a representative of VimpelCom (Beeline brand). According to his estimates, in October no more than 25% of the market demand will be supplied to Russia, while in September supplies amounted to 50% of the demand.

“In addition to the traditional shortage of new Apple products, a shortage of the old model line has been added. According to information from the vendor, this deficit is global in nature, ”said a representative of VimpelCom. Speaking about Samsung products, he noted that the company has reduced the lineup of the lower price segment, and there is also a deficit in other segments. “The situation is exactly the same with Xiaomi smartphones,” he said.

A Samsung representative told Vedomosti that the increased demand for new phones is noted not only in Russia, but also in South Korea, the USA, India and other countries. He separately noted the growth in demand for premium phones – in particular, the demand for phones with a flexible screen of the Galaxy Z series in Russia has doubled compared to 2020. “We plan to increase supplies to Russia in the 4th quarter to meet high demand,” he said.

In early October, the president of TransContainer, Alexander Isurin, warned about the risks of a shortage of Samsung and LG equipment due to problems in the South Korean port of Busan; then Samsung argued that there were no problems with the supply of goods and components to Russia. Earlier today, Bloomberg, citing sources, said that Apple could cut production by 10 million units by the end of the year due to a shortage of chips.
