Operating on the assumption that Apple is building an OLED iPhone, flexible circuit board maker Flexium is developing products that can be paired with the display technology, a report said on Thursday.
The work will allow Flexium to win a majority of flexible board orders from Apple in the second half of 2017, DigiTimes sources claimed. The supplier has been a regular Apple partner, providing components for iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
Indeed DigiTimes hinted that Flexium may be counting on Apple's 2017 iPhones, as its revenues were flat year-over-year for the first 11 months of 2016 and are expected to decline starting this month due to softening iPhone 7 demand. For iPhone suppliers, orders do typically slow down once Apple begins post-holidays production.
