At the moment, Apple's iDevices are registering very good sales, but only Americans will benefit from them for now. An Asian publication says that the Asian partners of those from Apple will register increases in sales/profit only in Q1 2013 due to the production problems of the new products. Production of components for iPad Mini si iMac 2012 it turns out to be much more difficult than initially expected, Apple's partners deliver few components and receive much less money than they hoped for.
Parts providers in Apple's supply chain will reportedly have to wait until the first quarter of 2013 to see their revenues bump up as the result of Apple's newly released iPad mini and 21.5- and 27-inch iMac due to mass production issues with the products, according to industry sources. Mass production of panels used in the iPad mini has reportedly suffered low yield rates, and backlight module providers have also had a shortage of supplies, which is affecting the amount of iPad minis that can be shipped in 2012, said the sources.
In the following month, Apple should sell several tens of millions of iDevices/Macs worldwide, but everything depends on the stocks it has available. At the moment, the iPhone 5, iPad Mini and the new iMacs will be hard to find in stores, the situation will probably be partially resolved by Christmas, but there is little chance that sufficient stocks will be available all over the world in the most crowded shopping period of the whole year.
