Japanese investigation reports that the cost fo Apple iphone have affected for 34 percent - Business

Apple iPh Japanese supply chain disaster investigation: who are New York apple flagship store all the iPad2 queue snapping up outside their career, maybe have begun scalpers in thinking the possible impact of Japanese earthquake.

In apple long supplier list, Japan is one of the most important topics in accepting our newspaper, industry insiders interview, which warned that if there is any one ring, by earthquake affected may affect apple top-selling product delivery.

"Taiwan manufacturer in these days of emergency call Japan, see source supplier is affected." Taiwan ZhangWenHui securities analysts now tells a reporter, now things are fairly unclear.

Affects apple supply chain

Apple dependence of parts of Japan has very high. According to a Japanese research institutions in the statement, iPhone from Japan purchase parts account for the total cost of the iPhone 34%.

"Our side has feel aftershock." Located in Kyoto, Japan of the Chinese employees Gregory hieronymites semiconductor, told reporters he in heaven in the kansai region of Japan in the electronic industry cluster is affected by the earthquake, factory basic maintained the normal production.

The kansai region is the most important Japanese electronics industry ignores the rendezvous, with the iPhone semiconductor also produce components, as well as part as roma, apple in Japan of suppliers, mostly on the area. Including Toshiba, murata, making the Japanese suppliers, including apple will mainly capacity in this area.

11 earthquake that day, Japan was felt throughout. Toshiba is located in Japanese triple county of NAND Flash on city production workshop, mainly because of the large earthquake ever relationship ecialists production. However, facilities and not because of the earthquake caused serious influence, at present has returned to production.

The news immediately sensitive nerve 6with industry, according to the latest report by Toshiba, dismantling machine production NAND Flash memory iPad2 and the iPhone4 is an important component.

We can see on the map in the 4th, Toshiba production line from earthquake focal distance city. But Taiwan institute of industry of Shanghai extension our director David li said, according to former experience, the earthquake in Taiwan was TSMC factory is far from the quake's epicentre, still for a few days, because the shutdown of semiconductor production line, high precision requirements factory needs to repair machines because of seismic shift whether.

Toshiba NAND Flash market in the global market share as much as 35 percent in the first place, and the samsung evenly matched, so Toshiba capacity as long as there is a little damage to global NAND Flash, supply are considerable influence.

"The situation is still uncertain, it is difficult to judge whether apple's supply affected by the quake." ZhangWenHui analysis road, a smartphone or tablet PC has hundreds of thousands of parts, as long as one of the parts for not loading, may cause iPhone and iPad shipping affected.

In addition to Toshiba in NAND flash memory, murata, making new bluetooth/WLAN module is also an important part of iPhone, in addition, solectron AKM semiconductor, er will reach into DengRi department manufacturers, is apple's important suppliers, besides apple still from Japan purchase part of the LCD screen, apple's passive components procurement also has the nearly 7 into from Japan.
