| iPhone 5 Release Date |
Apple is expected to place orders with Taiwan component suppliers in July in preparation for its planned launch of the iPhone 5 in August, which is aimed at cashing in on back-to-school buying at the end of the summer vacation, the report said.
"With the European debt crisis overshadowing the busy season for consumer electronics in the third quarter, Apple has decided to advance the launch of iPhone 5 to tap business opportunities," wrote Philip Liu of the CENS. "Industry insiders noted that the supply chain for iPhone 5 will begin to activate in July before expanding shipment in August — Apple has called for suppliers to speed up shipment, overstraining the status of delivery."
The report also echoed the rumored features and specifications of the upcoming iPhone 5, including a thinner body, a larger screen, stronger Siri function and major changes in the design for connection wire and connector, which will stimulate procurement by consumers.
"iPhone 5 will enter the era of 4G communications, leading to greater need for power amplifier, which will integrate with converter, in order to achieve the features of lightness and thinness. Major supplier Skyworks will score even stronger momentum in shipment," the report added.
