Huawei phones today they have a very worrying announcement that shows that things could go much worse for the Chinese, implicitly also the customers who are willing to buy the future models of mobile phones. More precisely, TSMC, the main manufacturer of processors for the Chinese, is preparing to announce that it will stop supplying components for Huawei phones that should be launched in the following months on the market.
Huawei phones have the processor manufactured mostly by TSMC, if we refer to the chips of the Chinese's own production, just as Apple uses the same manufacturer for the processors in the iPhone. The Taiwanese government has already banned Chinese products in government institutions, after the US did that, it convinced many companies to stop working with the Chinese company, and now they want to force TSMC to stop supplying components for Huawei phones .
A TERRIBLE News is coming for Huawei Phones, what are the Customers doing?
This announcement comes as very bad news for the future models of Huawei phones, because the Chinese would be forced to buy processors from Qualcomm, which also cannot sell them. The US sanctions have such a wide applicability that it is possible that for Huawei phones there will be no more components to buy not only from China, but also from Asia, as long as they contain more than 25% of technologies developed in the US.
"Taiwan's Prime Minister Su Tseng-chang said that a few unscrupulous companies should not be allowed to hurt the island's image when doing business with Huawei. The government has warned that Huawei's partners may run afoul of US sanctions as well as local laws and even face sanctions. Lawmakers have asked the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the National Security Agency to introduce a licensing regime to inspect and control the export of sensitive high-tech products, such as semiconductor components and components, as well as data storage devices."
From what it seems, the Google company would have managed to convince the US to allow it to continue delivering updates for Huawei phones, but it is possible that this was also a short-lived one, considering the current situation. As it seems that a solution to the situation in which the current and future Huawei phones are located is approaching, in reality we are getting closer to the worsening of the situation, the USA "working" well and through its allies.
Huawei phones could soon have only components produced in China, without American technologies, and this will drag their products down a lot, but it was expected to happen.
