DigiTimes reports Apple has adopted even stricter management over its supply chain. The firm is conducting more inspections than before, and the time spent on the inspections is also a lot longer.
The sources pointed out that Apple has been putting a lot of effort into managing costs and product quality for the past half year, and the company's suppliers are all being heavily evaluated.
The sources also revealed that before the new MacBook products were released, Apple discovered a finger print was mistakenly printed on one internal component and demand a recheck of whole production line to resolve the issue, forcing the supply chain to spend extra time to deal with the problem.
