Nikkei: Apple suppliers face bleak year

• Thanks to a continuing slump in demand for premium smartphones and a lack of groundbreaking features for the upcoming iPhone 7, Taiwan's tech suppliers will get significantly fewer orders in H2 than the previous year, according to the Nikkei Asian Review.
• "The traditional peak season this year will not be able to compare to the past few years," says one source. Another source says for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM -0.2%) - the sole supplier for the A10 chips used in the iPhone 7 - its iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 chip shipments in H2 will be just 70-80% of 2015's H2 levels.
