Apple (AAPL) Cutting Flash Orders; iSuppli Cuts Its NAND Flash Outlook

February 21, 2008 9:44 AM EST
iSuppli lowered its outlook for global flash revenue growth because of the weakness in consumer spending and order reductions from various companies. NAND flash is used in consumer-electronics applications, such as flash storage , MP3 players and USB flash drives.

Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) cut its 2008 NAND order forecast and told suppliers that its demand will slow in 2008 compared to 2007, says iSuppli contacts. This is expected to have a significant impact on the NAND market because Apple is one of the largest buyers of flash-memory for its iPods.

This may have an impact on suppliers’ financial results, such as STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) and Micron Technology (NYSE: MU)
