If there is a disruption in Taiwan's semiconductor production, it will be impossible to produce almost any smartphones anywhere in the world the next year because the chips will be unavailable, affecting not only smartphones but also PCs, data centers, and all sorts of goods including cars with 1,000 semiconductors each.

“it will be impossible to produce almost any smartphones anywhere in the world the next year. You won't have the chips. And it's not just smartphones. It's PCs, it's data centers, but it's also all sorts of goods that we don't really think of as being high-tech because today, for example, a new car will have 1,000 semiconductors inside.”
