Global Launch of Dimensity 8200 Devices
It should be noted that MediaTek already confirmed the arrival of the Dimensity 8200 devices this month. These flagship smartphones with this chip will soon be available globally before or after Christmas, but not after the New Year.
Meanwhile, Tech Times reported on Wednesday, Dec. 7 that the supply of the iPhone 14 Pro won't be that good this Christmas.
As the manufacturing plant of Apple in Zhengzhou continues to struggle because of COVID-19 lockdowns, there might be longer waiting times for customers who want to purchase the newest iOS-based handset.
In this case, the shipments for the iPhone 14 Pro are expected to be lower than usual. If the lockdowns ease up, the supplies might gradually return to normal. Still, you can look for other alternatives in the meantime.
