http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2016/03/fv_iphone_7_render_bottom-250x263.jpgApple recently reported its first year-over-year decline in iPhone sales (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/04/26/q2-2016-earnings/), with CEO Tim Cook (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/tim-cook/) claiming one of the reasons is that the upgrade cycle for the larger iPhone 6 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-6/) and iPhone 6s (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-6s/) ****** has stretched out longer than it anticipated.
Despite the launch of the lower-priced iPhone SE (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/03/21/apple-an**unces-4-inch-iphone-se-starting-399/), that decline is expected to continue into the second half of this year. In reporting its first negative-growth quarter since 2003, Apple forecasted a**ther revenue drop (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/04/26/apple-forecasts-a**ther-revenue-decline-q3-2016/) next quarter.
The sales decline is placing downward pressure on Apple's overseas suppliers, who have rode the iPhone's coattails to success over the past half-dozen years. **t only does LCD supplier Japan Display reportedly expect to post a nearly $300 million loss (http://www.wsj.com/articles/apples-slowdown-bruises-japanese-display-maker-1462878294) for the fiscal year ended March, but Nikkei (http://asia.nikkei.com/Business/AC/Taiwanese-tech-sector-dragged-into-depression-by-Apple?page=1) reports that Apple's slowdown is also sending Taiwanese suppliers into a downward spiral."Suppliers are saying that they are getting fewer orders for the second half of this year compared with the year-ago period," a source said. "The traditional peak season this year will **t be able to compare to the past few years."The report claims Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), one of Apple's primary chip suppliers, may ship up to 30% fewer chips (http://asia.nikkei.com/Business/AC/Apple-suppliers-face-bleak-year-as-demand-for-iPhone-7-weak) in the second half of 2016 compared to the year-ago period. The decline is attributed to the iPhone 7 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-7/)'s expected lack of in**vative features, saturation of the smartphone market, increased competition, and a global eco**mic slowdown.A**ther source said that for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the sole supplier for the latest A10 chips used in iPhone 7, its iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 chip shipments for the June to December period will likely shrink to 70%--80% of the level reached in the second half of 2015.Apple suppliers Largan Precision, LG Display, Catcher Tech**logy, Foxconn, and Pegatron have and will likely continue to face similar declines in the near term.Largan Precision, a key high-end camera module supplier for Apple's iPhone, reported its first year-on-year decline in revenue in three years in the last quarter of 2015. The company has suffered a revenue fall for five months in a row since last December.
Adam Lin, chief executive of Largan, attributed the dip to a "significant scale-back of orders from a major customer."Apple is expected to an**unce the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the latter of which may be branded with a "Pro" name (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/02/29/iphone-7-plus-dual-cameras-iphone-pro/) instead, in September. Newly leaked drawings (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/05/11/iphone-7-and-7-plus-drawings-uswitch/) suggest both smartphones may have ** 3.5mm headphone jack (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/11/27/iphone-7-**-3-5mm-headphone-jack-lightning/) and a single speaker, while a dual-lens camera system (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/03/15/iphone-7-plus-photo-dual-lens-smart-connector/) and Smart Connector (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/smart-connector/) will seemingly be exclusive to the larger 5.5-inch model with 3GB of RAM (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/05/11/iphone-7-plus-single-model-3gb-ram/).
