According to recent reports, tech giant Apple is planning to cut down significantly on the production of iPhones during the first quarter of 2017, as a Japanese business paper known as the Nikkei Asian Review reports that production is slated to be slashed by 10 percent.

While the iPhone is widely considered to the flagship product of Apple, this will mark the second year in a row that the tech giant has been forced to scale back its production in a significant manner. The aforementioned paper based its information and analysis on numbers that were provided to them by Apple suppliers.

The production cuts are expected to affect many of Apple’s newer iPhone models, including the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus. The Nikkei Asian Review reported that a decrease in demand spurred the decision, but there are also reported shortages that are causing the scale back in production.

The iPhone 7 and iPhone Plus both rely on a specialized camera sensor and a shortage in these sensors has also played a role in Apple’s decision making process. There is still a high demand for these photography friendly phones and this decision is not expected to spell doom for the tech giant.

At press time, Apple had yet to respond to numerous inquiries for comment on the report and it remains to be seen if this decision will lead to any long term shifts in the company’s overall production policies.
