Low yield rates of in-cell touch panels might disrupt new iPhone delivery schedule and shipments, say rumors

Low yield rates of in-cell touch panels might disrupt new iPhone delivery schedule and shipments, say rumors: Rumors recently circulated in the touch-panel industry have claimed that yield rates of the in-cell touch panels at Japan Display, LG Display and Sharp - reportedly the panel producers for Apple's next-generation iPhone - are too low to generate profits. Apple reportedly even has offered subsidies - estimated at US$10-15 per panel produced - to the panel suppliers in order to encourage them to produce more and ensure stable shipments after the launch of its 2012 iPhone.
