Rumors of rumors? Apple requests suppliers to stop shipping iPhone X components

According to foreign media reports, "Apple's Asian suppliers investors" do not like Apple's latest mobile phone. However, this does not mean that Apple fans will not buy the new iPhone 8. The day before the iPhone 8 conference, Gene Munster of venture capital firm Loup Ventures accepted an interview with CNBC and pointed out that Apple's stock price would fall by 8% after the iPhone conference. Apple stocks have soared before the conference. Wall Street usually does this and sells shares on the second day of the iPhone conference. This is only the practice of Wall Street. Munster made this prediction before the stock price fell in order to keep Apple fans calm and ready to meet the stock price drop. He thinks this does not mean anything in reality. This is what people often say “buy when buying, sell in real time”. Selling by Asian investors is also one thing. However, a recent negative news may be bad for Apple. According to foreign media reports, “an insider from Apple’s upstream component suppliers in Taiwan said that Apple has stopped suppliers from transporting some of their parts for iPhone X production. The insider said that the number of components shipped by the supplier now only accounts for 40% of the initial planned production volume for the iPhone X. However, the news also pointed out that despite the decline in shipments, due to the lower production rate of the factory's production lines, some suppliers still have to increase production to meet the 40% requirement. The news pointed out that Apple also used the same strategy when it introduced the iPhone 7 in 2016. The first shipments at that time only accounted for 60% of the initial orders of the suppliers, and Apple only imported 1-2 months later. The next 40%. The news said that Apple will first look at the pre-sale of the iPhone X and the sales performance of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus before deciding whether to make the iPhone X as planned. ” The authenticity of this rumors has yet to be confirmed, and it is more like an intentionally fabricated rumors to increase the market's FUD (Fear, uncertainty and suspicion) factors and reduce people's enthusiasm for the iPhone X. This is what Apple's competitors in China like to see. Recently, the media has been attacking Apple from all angles. Last week, before the Apple HomePod was officially launched, the blog Patently Apple published an article titled "The Opponents are already saying that Apple's HomePod is doomed to fail."
