Iphone Assembler Pegatron Optimistic About Demand For High End Phones This Year

Pegatron – Apple’s secondary iPhone assembler alongside Foxconn – has said that it is optimistic about demand for high-end phones this year.

Nikkei reports that CEO S.J. Liao made the remarks during a press conference ahead of the company’s year-end, noting that the company would be increasing its capital expenditure this year.

Pegatron currently makes the iPhone 8, while the flagship iPhone X is made by Foxconn – a pattern rumored to be repeated this year.

Analyst Kylie Huang agreed with Liao’s assessment.

KGI said back in November that Apple was working on three iPhones for this year, two OLED ones and a 6.1-inch LCD model with the same near-bezel-free design as the iPhone X, likely using Full Active LCD screens.
