Apple warns suppliers of 20% drop in new iPhone parts orders

Ah yes. Once again Apple is expecting a MASSIVE drop in sales.

It couldn’t be that Apple is switching to a different part.

Or getting them from another existing supplier for quality/price reasons.

Or they’ve simply added yet another supplier so the existing ones don’t need to make as many at the existing suppliers.

These reports are meaningless. Squabbling in the supplier-sphere or perhaps an attempt to short a stock.

One maniac at Nikkei, every quarter, like clockwork.

Smart people might be timing their trading based on his pattern. Just saying.

I wish I could find the website where this is documented as "somewhere in the south east pacific blah blah".

It read like a comedy, but was so damn true.

Flagged since this isn't really any important kind of story. It's pretty standard for this time of year.

Of course the iPhone sales are going to slow down as the autumn renewal is getting closer.
