TAIPEI -- Key iPhone assembler Pegatron on Thursday said demand for iPhone 8 could significantly weaken in the first quarter of 2018, with one analyst saying that Apple will slash orders by 50%.
"We often experience significant seasonality correction in the first quarter, a traditional low period, of the year, and 2018 is no exception. I don't see any good sign to change that at the moment," said Chief Financial Officer Charles Lin of Pegatron in an earnings briefing, without explicitly naming Apple or iPhone.
