Sharp's Production of New iPhone Displays Reportedly Behind Schedule

Flawed logic. I know a lot of people around here love to go this "Apple is intentionally shorting supply for an easy sell out," but obviously they've never been to B-school. In the business world, companies strive for a guaranteed sale today rather than hope customers come back to buy a few weeks later. (A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush).
The iPhone won't "sell out," it will be back ordered if parts run short. And potential new customers may not wait or won't be able to wait weeks longer. Apple would much rather have a constant supply. A legitimate product sells without cheap gimmicks.
But the truth is Apple is going to sell tens of millions of iPhones worldwide even if this news wasn't announced. It was announced for Sharp shareholders info, as it's relevant to earnings, and not disseminated to hype any presumed iPhone shortage.
Wow, this went to an odd place. You guys cracked me up and woke me up this am.

Thank you, I get so tired of all these conspiracy theorists sometimes.

Ok I can see some of the people on this thread have been spending a little too much time on reddit...

About two-thirds of MacRumors commenters haven't even graduated from high school!

they might have to get samsung to make them just like they had to do with the ipad 3 when sharp had delayed the order.

yeah samsung will pay them in screens instead of cash.

Devo will be going through my head for the entire Labor Day weekend now.
Funny. You can think about all the poor Sharp employees that aren't taking the time off.
Ride 'em cowboy.
