MacBook Pro shipments may only see single-digit growth in 2013, as related upstream component suppliers still haven’t seen major increases in orders, claims “DigiTimes” (http://tinyurl.com/chasuuo), quoting unnamed “sources from the upstream supply chain.”

The orders may increase slightly after Apple releases its new MacBook products at the end of the second quarter, the article adds. Apple was confident about its 13-inch MacBook Pro performance for 2013, “but the device’s actual sales turn out to be weaker than expected,” per “DigiTimes.”
