JP Morgan: Any ‘iPhone 6’ display shortage would have ‘no impact’ on sales, device launch

“Following a spate of rumors that late-term problems with the display on Apple’s next-generation iPhone could force the handset’s delay or seriously constrain supplies, at least one Wall Street analyst indicated that the issue — if it even actually exists — would not materially impact the launch of the so-called ‘iPhone 6,'” AppleInsider reports.

“‘This sounds like a typical late-in-the-game supply chain story that turns out to have no impact on launch dates or devices sales,’ J.P. Morgan analyst Rod Hall wrote in a Monday morning note to investors which was provided to AppleInsider. ‘We believe that initial supply could be slowed somewhat if there is any truth to this but we doubt that iPhone unit volumes in the fall are likely to be impacted,'” AppleInsider reports. “Apple is expected to launch its next iPhone in two screen sizes of 4.7 and 5.5 inches. If the company sticks to its usual release pattern, it will launch the ‘iPhone 6’ two Fridays after its unveiling, which this year would fall on Sept. 19.”

  1. Notice it seems like a parry and thrust then touché situation among anal-cysts who do their best to inflict “maybe, FUD, what-if” speculative damage on Apple (and the stock) against others who then counter with information this will not be harmful or negatorious?

  2. Wow, a “display shortage” for the new iPhone announced only weeks before it’s rumored launch date? Hmmm- could this have ever happened before? Answer: every goddamned year about this time such a speculative announcement is made by the anal-cysts interested in front-loading the stock price in order to suppress their price and maximize their gains after buying. Don’t fall for it once again!
