Company partners Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), reports a decrease in sales of iDevices, which implicitly generates a decrease in component orders for products from Cupertino, and this year the number of components produced will be lower than last year.
According to the partners Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, in Q2 2016 the orders for components will be only slightly higher than those recorded in Q1 2016, this despite the fact that the American company launched two new products on the market this very day, many partners also expecting a substantial increase in orders of components.
This did not happen, and Apple's partners claim that the iPhone SE and iPad Pro 9.7 inches have had disappointing sales, and with this aspect in mind, in Q2 2016 Apple would halve the component orders for the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus compared to Q1 2016.
Although Apple hoped that the launch of the iPhone SE and iPad Pro 9.7 inches would compensate for the decrease in sales for the rest of the iPhone and iPad models, it seems that this did not happen exactly as Apple wanted, so in the end the component orders will was decreasing.
Chip orders from Apple are relatively slow in the second quarter of 2016 compared to those in the same quarter in previous years, according to industry sources. Sales of the latest Apple devices have been disappointing, according to sources at analog IC suppliers. Chip shipments for the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus for the second quarter of 2016 will likely be halved from those shipped in the first quarter.
Apple announced at the end of last year that in Q1 2016 it will announce the first drop in sales of iPhone terminals, if we make a comparison between the same fiscal quarters from previous years, and the appearance of this new information from Apple's partners puts the evolution in a rather gloomy perspective American company.
