Apple asked iPhone supply chain to prepare 20% fewer components,
Nikkei says Apple (AAPL) asked its supply chain to prepare around
20% fewer components for iPhones debuting in the latter half of
2018, Nikkei reports, citing industry sources. Apple last year
placed orders to prepare for production of up to 100M units of the
new iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, but this year the company
currently expects total shipments of only 80M units for new models,
two people told the paper. Further, two sources told Nikkei that
Apple's supply chain was told to prepare earlier for the two
organic light-emitting diode, or OLED, models. Two of Apple's three
new iPhones will use OLED, Nikkei reported previously. Shares of
Apple (AAPL) are down 2% to $189.55 in pre-market trading following
the report. Suppliers to Apple include Dialog Semiconductor
(DLGNF), Broadcom (AVGO), Cirrus Logic (CRUS), Qorvo (QRV
OLED is a long than. They own the patents for OLED technology
and supply into Samsung / LG screens - Samsung and LG have been key
screen suppliers for AAPL, including Iphone X.
