Apple and Samsung Electronics are cutting smartphone component orders due to soaring memory prices squeezing profit margins, which could threaten Samsung Display's fourth-quarter earnings, as nearly two-thirds of its revenue comes from the two phone makers, The Korea Herald reported, citing industry sources. Samsung's mobile division has asked suppliers to cut fourth-quarter component deliveries by 20% to 30% from original plans. Separately, Apple reportedly cut orders for certain iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models in October.
