Apple rejects Catcher iPhone 6 chassis; places extra orders with Jabil and Foxconn, says paper

Catcher Technology's 4.7-inch iPhone 6 chassis has reportedly been rejected by Apple due to defects in the connecting areas between the plastic and metal parts, forcing Apple to place short-term orders with its existing suppliers Jabil and Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry), according to a Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) report citing market watchers.

Catcher declined to comment.

The market watchers pointed out that the issue was caused by the Catcher's anodizing process and may take 2-3 months to fix. Catcher's June and July revenues are expected to be weaker than expected as a result of the lost orders, the paper added.
