According to Susquehanna Financial Group's Mehdi Hosseini, Apple Inc. is expected to build fewer iPhone 8 devices than previously expected following meetings with unnamed entities in Taiwan and Korea.Hosseini commented in a research report that Apple is now planning to build and ship around 100 million iPhone 8 units in the bottom half of 2017, which is lower than the analyst's prior forecast of 110 million to 115 million units.Hosseini also suggested the new iPhone's BOM (bill of materials) will be around $100 to $200 higher than expected, driven by higher memory and display costs and new potential features such as 3D sensing.via
