Wistron said to have claimed some future Apple 'iPhone 7s,' 'iPhone 8' orders

By Mike Wuerthele

Recent reports from the supply chain claim that frequent rumor target Wistron, the builder of the iPhone 5c and SE, has seized at least some future orders from Apple for future iPhone models -- but what it will actually be tapped for is unclear.

According to the Chinese-language Economic Daily News, Wistron will be a third supplier for a future, undisclosed, iPhone model. The company will join Pegatron, and Foxconn as main assemblers, presumably in an effort to allow for more units available at launch.
