In recent days a some commotion after a statement by the CEO of one of Apple's supplier companies that could make people understand that iPad mini sales had stalled. The words of Jason Cheng, CEO of Pegatron, complained of a loss of profits based on a drop in demand for their services. The statements were extrapolated and immediately entered the dynamics of the snowball.
Recently Cheng, through the company's website, has denied that he explicitly said that his results had to do with Apple's small tablet and has identified the origin of the conflict in a misaligned interpretation of specialized media. In reality, Pegatron not only takes care of supplying Apple parts for the iPad mini, it also does it with several iPhones and even Microsoft's Surface. In fact, the Taiwanese company has reported that it still have not published their financial results for the second quarter of the year, of course, not even a forecast of them. In addition, they have Thought to increase its workforce by 40% 100.000 workers in the second half of the year, predictably for a new batch of products from Cupertino.
More data to show that it was just speculation. Pegatron increased its profits by 81% in the first quarter of 2013 Compared to the same period of the previous year.
Other suppliers have been consulted and have affirmed that in no case is there a lower demand for parts than expected. What's more, if an Apple supplier stops taking orders, it doesn't mean anything, since the Californian company works with short deadlines and many companies at the same time. In this way, if you are not satisfied with what one of your partners is doing, you can take weight off the production and hand it over to another who offers you more confidence.
