Apple cuts October iPhone component orders by at least 15%
In short
Apple cut its October component orders by at least 15% compared with the original request. The company has been more careful about shipments since early September.
The move suggests weaker demand and could affect suppliers, but the reporting does not say which parts were cut or how long the slowdown will last.
What the reporting says
Apple cut component orders for October by at least 15% from what was originally requested, after turning more conservative on shipments since early September, according to a publisher-supplied summary. The report links the move to weaker demand, but it does not provide Apple’s comment or specify which components were reduced. The immediate effect is lower near-term order volume for suppliers.
