Why iPhone 6S may be in short supply

Here’s why iPhone 6S may be in short supplyIt looks like the iPhone 6S Plus could be in short supply despite Apple's claim that its new iPhones set for release this month, are on a pace to top last year's 10 million pre-orders record. 

According to an investor note (via Macrumors) issued byKGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 6S Plus is facing supply shortage issues because of backlight module production problems at Apple's Japanese supplier Minebea. 

The analyst, who has a pretty good track record when it comes to Apple related developments, says Apple plans to resolve the problem by transferring orders for backlight module to a different supplier, Radiant. Kuo says the supplier will see its orders increase by 70-80% to 4 to 5 million units in September. 

"We believe Minebea's (JP) backlight module production issues in supplying iPhone 6S Plus (6S Plus) is one of the main factors in the model's supply shortage. To tackle this issue, we believe Apple (US) has been increasingly transferring high-ASP 6S Plus backlight module orders to Radiant (6176 TT, NT$106.5, OP), boosting its sales momentum," said Kuo. 

Shipping estimates for iPhone 6S Plus are at 3-4 weeks for most variants. Kuo believes the reason for this is the supply issues and not strong demand for the phone
