Demand for the iPhone 3GS this holiday season is expected to cause a
shortage of image sensors, as Apple has increased orders for parts for
its handset by 20 percent.

According to Taiwanese trade publication DigiTimes, OmniVision
Technologies, the manufacturer of CMOS image sensors used in the
iPhone 3GS, has warned its clients that there will be a limited supply
of hardware during the holiday season. Supply constraints are pinned
chiefly on demand for the iPhone 3GS, and are not expected to relax
until late November.

"Apple has increased fourth-quarter orders for the iPhone 3GS to its
Taiwan-based manufacturing partners Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai
Precision Industry) and Primax Electronics by 17-20%, noted the
sources," the report said.

Apple officials said in the company's fourth quarter earnings call
that they intend to meet overwhelming demand for the iPhone 3GS in the
coming holiday season.
