The Wall Street Journal, citing "people familiar with the situation," reported that Apple has cut orders of screens and other handset components. Orders of iPhone 5 screens for the January-March quarter have fallen to approximately 50 percent of what Apple had initially planned, according to the WSJ. Samsung, makers of the popular Android-based Galaxy phones, has surpassed Apple as the world's largest smartphone merchant. In the third quarter, Apple was responsible for 14.6 percent of world-wide smartphone shipments, while Samsung's market share grew to 31.3 percent.
"The move indicates that sales of the new iPhone haven't been as strong as previously anticipated and demand may be waning," the WSJ stated.
