Apple Drops to 11-Month Low on Reports of IPhone Cutbacks
Apple Inc. declined to the lowest price in 11 months after the Nikkei newswire reported that production of the iPhone was cut on weak demand. Apple ordered about half the 65 million iPhone 5 displays it originally targeted for this quarter, Nikkei said, citing an unnamed executive at a component maker. Manufacturing curbs have been widely known since December, according to Steven Milunovich and Mark Moskowitz, analysts at UBS AG and JPMorgan Chase & Co., respectively. Last month, Apple cut production by about 30 percent, which may be the result of inventory rebalancing or lower consumer demand, Milunovich wrote in a research report today.
Order cuts may also be due to suppliers becoming more adept at building the latest iPhone, reducing the need for Apple to order excess parts, Bloomberg wrote in a note to clients today.

I'm in same position as you Darren. I'm loving my iPad4 too.
Both the wife and I love the iPhone as well.
No surprises though in this news.
I absolutely love my iPad 4 but as my first Apple device even I'll admit that their products are very expensive. Expensive but very nicely built and of a quality that I've not seen elsewhere. I guess that is what you pay for. I certainly do not regret buying my iPad but I can't but wonder how much more successful Apple would be if they priced their products competitively.

from my perspective...my ipod produces the best quality music that no mobile phone can reproduce i have to date...so...you get what you pay for, that's it...
apple is equal for quality...and they are taking hard advantage of it...

erm no. apple are going backwards. you don't see android struggling, do you?
Depends on what they're struggling with lol. Nexus 4 is still no-where to be found. I'm in my 7th week of waiting.

My Nexus S would like to disagree with that. Based on my own testing, the latest generation iPod doesn't contain a good sound chip, basses sound flat and the sound isn't as crisp as the Nexus S which has a top-of-the-line Wolfson WM8994. If you add the Voodoo Sound driver (root required), it makes the sound even cleaner.
As for Apple, they're starting to see that there are now other competitors who are putting products out that are different and actually innovative like BlackBerry 10, Windows Phone 8 and there are a lot of Android devices capturing attention. I know so many "Apple fans" who jumped over to the Galaxy S 3 or Note 2. These are the same people who said that Android sucks just 6-8 months ago.
Apple really needs to "innovate" or do something actually different if they want to hold on to their marketshare. Android will rarely have this issue as it's a completely open platform, anyone can make any device and just slap the OS on top (which is a blessing and a curse as everyone knows).

Yes fake 1080 screens I can't wait for it
sorry but I will take a slightly lowwer PPI IPS retina display over a higher "PPI" AMOLED screen and their 2 sub pixel per pixel where the retina has 3 sub pixels per pixel. To me the colors looks much more natural on a retina on the AMOLED screen they look over saturated and fake.
oh come on! Apple was behind for years, up until iPhone 4 release. then they went "ahead" for what, a few months? even then, a super amoled is imho far more impressive technology over their retina. plus that retina craze will soon be put to sleep with 1080p screens.

One line retorts, that's what you got. You gave an "I told you so" to a guy who really doesn't care what you were saying 2 years ago, and that's it. I assume you have a stupid smug grin on your face when you say it too.
You are absolutely worse than any fanboy, including Finch, because you are more blind than they are. At least they get their enjoyment from using the product. You're just ****ting on a device to **** on it and you disregard any valid points given to you, all because it gives you a feeling of superiority for your OS choice.
