There's a comment by matrix07 on AppleInsider I think may be worth a read:

Look at the number here http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/01/14/us-apple-iphone-de...

Apple was expected to order 65 million screens?

Considering the best iPhone quarter is only 37 mil., and that's Christmas quarter. WTH Apple to order this much in a quarter AFTER Christmas?

Makes no sense.

BGR also notes that the same screen is used for both the iPhone 5 and the iPod Touch. It can't simply be assumed that the iPhone demand has lessened because Apple orders less of one component used in multiple lines of products.

Now that's interesting. Did iPad Mini kill iPod Touch sales? $299 and $399 vs $329 iPad Mini. Hm.
