Manufacturers of accessories, especially of Lightning cables, They have a new concern on top and it is that apparently, the high sales expected for the iPhone 6 have caused Apple to manufacture a large number of Lightning cables.
Remember that even if it is a "simple" cable, the shape of the connector and the chipset that verifies the authentication, are owned by Apple and to be able to use them, you have to be part of the authorized manufacturer program to sell products compatible with MFi technology.
It is clear that faced with a need as great as that of preparing massive amounts of Lightning cables To ship with the iPhone 6 and new iPad units, Apple will take care of itself and will exhaust the entire stock of Lightning connectors and the corresponding chips for each of them, causing accessory manufacturers to run out of components for your products.
It is clear that manufacturers will not be happy as they pay to use the technology behind the Lightning connector and in a way, Apple is turning its back on them at very crucial moments that will undoubtedly cause the delay of «Made for iPhone» products. According to the source, there could be stock problems until January and taking into account that we are in September, it is a long period of time.
