If you were a part of Apple’s supply chain, chances are that your revenue stream would see a vast growth owing to the number of global demand from iPhones. Unfortunately, with the delay of the iPhone X right down to reducing iPhone 8’s production by 50 percent, it looks like Apple has been dealing with a ton of issues from its supply chain partners. A columnist believes that the day the tech giant decided to switch to OLED technology plus other technologies for the iPhone X is the reason why this supply chain conundrum exists right now.

According to Tim Culpan, technology columnist at Bloomberg, Apple is one such company that understands the supply chain to its intricacy. The manufacturer’s employees work closely with component makers in deciding the capacity, quality, and capability of these components to see if they are worth being incorporated in mobile phones. Unfortunately, the decision to switch to OLED for iPhone X has made things quite dicey for the Cupertino tech giant.
