Chip Orders Slow as Apple Rivals Wait to See iPhone 8

Chip suppliers are reporting slowed demand from non-Apple companies as rivals wait to see what new technologies the iPhone 8 will bring, reports DigiTimes.

Fabless firms such as MediaTek and HiSilicon are slowing their pace of orders and have warned of disappointing shipments in the third quarter.

Chip orders from the non-Apple camp should have picked up starting April and grown through August, but orders seem to have been pushed back in 2017 as companies adopt a wait-and-see approach before the launch of Apple's upcoming iPhones which they believe will come with revolutionary features, the sources indicated.
