Which of the following factors would likely cause a rightward shift in the supply curve for smartphones?

A rightward shift of the smartphone supply curve happens when it becomes cheaper or easier to produce more phones at every price. For example, if a new manufacturing technique reduces the cost of the chips used in phones, producers can make more units for the same price. When the cost per phone drops, companies supply more phones at each price level, moving the supply curve to the right. This shift is driven by lower input costs or improved production technology. So, a decrease in the price of a key component, like the smartphone processor, would likely cause that rightward shift.
