The outfit has reportedly lost 50 to 60 percent of iPad Mini production to rival manufacturer Pegatron. Economic Daily News reports that both suppliers are expected to churn out up to five million units of Apple new diminutive tablet.

The iPad mini is expected to roll out sometime next month, but in keeping with tradition Apple is not saying anything yet.

Additionally, Pegatron is reportedly being brought on board to help produce the iPhone and the first Pegatron built iPhones should appear sometime in Q4.
