iPhone 6S Plus in short supply due to production issues, says analyst - CNET

The iPhone 6S Plus's backlight module, which supplies light to the screen, is allegedly suffering production issues, according to a Monday investors note from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, which was picked up by AppleInsider. Kuo apparently didn't specify the exact nature of the problem but said the slowdown in production rests with Apple supplier Minebea, which has been manufacturing the backlight modules

There's a story like this with every iPhone release... There may be some truth to it... Or not. Take with a truckload of salt.

Whether true or not it can and will affect stock prices.

Whether true or not it can and will affect stock prices.

Negligibly...I'm not losing any sleep over my Apple stock, and when the numbers start pouring in after release, the stock with jump like it always does. This, in my opinion, is not news worthy at all as it happens every year like was said above.

Yeah that's probably the case.
Even more, what will make a big impact is the upgrade (new iphone every year) program.
That looks like the new cash cow!

Cash cow for Apple from the people who exercise the option to upgrade each year.

For people who don't, and who tend to buy AppleCare+ anyway, it's an interest-free loan!

I think this happened exactly the same time as last year's press release by him too! Got to love Apple's PR machine!
