Explaining the Global Chip Shortage

It's an interesting article overall - but it seems to be half written now, and half written earlier in 2022. There's no publish date on the blog article that I can see.

Google seems to think it was posted 3 days ago - but in the article you have sentences like "However, some of the most in-demand phones are expected to become more available by February 2022." Which adds to the confusion of the currency of some of the statements / observations.

You're correct. You can wayback machine it and see they first archived a version in 2021 and it's been updated multiple times since then.

I'd go further and argue that this contains no new information and it's basically a sales pitch for outsourcing your electronics manufacturing to Jabil.
