Nanya PCB wins PCB Contract for iPhone

[MacRumors]

EMSNow cites the China Economic News Service which reports that Nanya Printed Circuit Board Corporation will be supplying at least 30% of Apple iPhone printed circuit board orders and is scheduled to deliver them in April.

This appears to be citing the same article as a previous report also indicating that iPhone component manufacturers are planning on shipping by April.

Sounds like we are right on schedule for June release; component supply ramp-up in april, production ramp up and stockpiling in may, then June release.

What's wrong with PBGA? The chips seem smaller than the standard packaging used in many memory chips.

Probably something to do w/ service providers or localizing the apps to each country. I don't know how it works in other countries so your guess is as good as mine.

Hopefully the iPhone will come sooner than later but I'm not getting my hopes up.
