A group of Apple suppliers tracked by Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White saw preliminary July sales rise 14 percent month-over-month, notes AppleInsider. White comments that the the figure is the best monthly growth the group has ever seen, almost twice the average 8.5 percent increase witnessed during the last seven years. More crucially the analyst argues that the data points at several new products going into manufacturing, which could allegedly set the stage for "the biggest second-half product launch in Apple's history."
