Apple is cutting back shipments for iPhone and iPad production in the fall, insiders claimed Wednesday. Taiwan's Commercial Times believed Apple was telling part suppliers for the iPhone 4S to move shipments from the fall to early 2012, as sales allegedly weren't as strong as in the pre-order phase and may have been affected by shortages of "key components." Assemblers, case makers, camera lens producers, and chip developers were also supposedly expecting shipments to drop, in some cases by 10 to 15 percent.
