A report at DigiTimes has Apple moving into inventory-control mode with the iPad 2, and increasing shipments of parts ? specifically, the higher-resolution touch panels ? for the iPad 3.
The report indicates that Apple has reduced its fourth-quarter shipments of iPad 2 panels from suppliers LG Display, Samsung, and Chimei Innolux, while increasing its order of iPad 3 panels from Samsung and Sharp. According to the report, third-quarter sales of the iPad 2 left the company with a surplus of panels, so the cut-back in orders is aimed at controlling iPad 2 inventory before the iPad 3 hits the market.
The report ? which remains entirely unofficial, keep in mind ? also indicates that several Taiwan-based panel manufacturers will begin shipping parts for the new iPad between now and December.
