| Apple adds firms to watch portfolio Reports that demand for the Apple watch is such that the company may have trouble supplying the demand it has created has caused it to seek new manufacturing partners. A report on Taiwanese wire Digitimes said that it has added Compal and Wistron to its existing clutch of Far East suppliers. But it’s not just demand that’s causing it to choose these two original design manufacturers (ODMs). Apple plays the game of setting its suppliers against each other so they compete on cost and allow the US firm to increase its gross margins on products. The same report on Digitimes claimed that it’s not just the Apple watch which will be built by the two Taiwanese ODMs – they will also have a share in making iPhones. http://www.techeye.net/news/apple-ad...atch-portfolio |
