Canaccord Genuity Morning Coffee on Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL): Your daily Apple news...
According to a source close to the matter, Sharp has not yet started mass production of screens for Apple’s next iPhone, leading many to question whether Apple will be able to secure components to meet demand for the upcoming iPhone 5. Sharp had apparently planned to start shipping screens at the end of August, but production has been delayed due to manufacturing difficulties. Sharp is one of three screen suppliers for the iPhone. Japan Display and LG have already started shipping their screens to Apple, according to the source. This isn’t the first time Sharp has delayed shipments to Apple. Screens for the most recent iPad were delayed earlier this year, but the delay did not create any supply shortages. The newest iPhone is rumoured to have in-cell LCD panels, which make phones thinner by integrating touch sensors into the LCD, eliminating the need for a separate touch screen layer. In-cell LCD screens are reportedly more difficult to mass produce than traditional screens, possibly explaining Sharp’s delay.
