Apple to cut iPhone production by 10% in Q1 of 2017: Report
Apple is set to reduce iPhone production by 10% in the first quarter of 2017, a media report said.

"This is not the first time Apple has cut back on iPhone production as a similar event occurred this year in the January-March quarter. That cut on production was around 30%," 9to5mac.com reported.
Last year, Apple`s devices accounted for 49.1% of all activations during the same period while Samsung last year accounted for 19.8% of all activations.
Apple is also reportedly planning to manufacture iPhones in Bengaluru in association with Wistron, a Taiwanese OEM manufacturer for Apple and will start production by April 2017.
