The idea that Apple over-produced parts for the 6s just goes to show ignorance of how manufacturing actually works.

The development of a new phone takes at least a year to 18 months. Apple knew a long time ago that they would use the A9 in the SE. The idea that they decided to put it in because they made too many for the 6s is nonsense!

The manufacturing date on one chip in one phone is irrelevant, these parts do not necessary move through inventory on a 'first out - first in" basis.

Well since last the last quarter apple sold less iphones then anticipated. There is a possibility that there is over supply. I understand that apple would reduce orders to adjust supply. But just recently it was announced by a source in a supplier that there is a huge decrease in the iphone 6s which the iphone se is unable to offset aka this quarter might be worst than anticipated and again have an over supply. As tim cook said the next quarter is going to show negative growth but I fear that it might be worst than what he expects. P.S. I think the iphone se will sell but not enought.
