Cook said that "most of our issue" is semiconductors made with older chipmaking technology. Those are the same classes of chips that have hobbled other industries, including automakers such as Ford Motor Co and General Motors Co. Cook said it was difficult to tell how long supply shortages would last because so many industries use those chips.
Analog chips, display drivers, power management ICs and RF devices are produced in 200mm (8-inch) fabs — not the 300mm (12-inch) fabs used for cutting-edge chips.
