Pegatron Technology, based in Shanghai, China, has landed orders for 10 million units of iPhone 5 to become the second original design manufacturer of the smartphone and shipments will start in September, reports “DigitTmes” (http://macte.ch/tujkR), quoting unnamed “industry sources.”
As iPhone gross margins are relatively small, Pegatron aims to compete for orders for iPad, MacBook Air and other Apple products and has increased production equipment and employment, the article adds. Other reports/rumors beg the iPhone 5’s debut at October, not September.
