Following on from a previous news story today saying that Sharp will start mass production of iPhone 5S LCD screens in June, AppleInsider has published another news story today that supports the previous story, with the news that Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty has revealed new information about Apple’s plans for the summer that she heard during a trip to Asia. According to Huberty’s sources in Apple’s supply chain in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Apple is to start manufacturing “multiple” iPhone models in June and July, ready for a likely September launch. What this most likely means is that Apple will be launching the iPhone 5S, as well as a budget iPhone, in September, as well as continuing to produce older iPhone models, with iPhone 5 shipments now back on track following recent reports of reduced iPhone 5 orders. “After a slow start, iPhone 5 is now on track to meet carrier volume expectations and iPhone 4 price cuts could stimulate incremental demand near-term,” said Huberty in her note to investors today.[/FONT]
