Apple (AAPL) Suppliers May Be Facing Yield Problems with Certain iPhone Components
Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) is up today amid chatter that yields on some key iPhone components might not be hitting targets.
Digitimes cites Taiwan-based supply chain sources in saying that camera lens modules for the new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C have been met with low yields. Sources said that Largan Precision was the only company able to achieve above-average yield rates on the lenses.
Word comes as Apple's iPhone 5S was said to sell out in China when it went up for pre-ordering today. The reason could be either strong demand, or low supplies.
Shares of Apple are up 1.8 percent.
