    Getting an Apple contract is a poison chalice for many suppliers.

              Consequence of sacrificing profit margin for huge production contracts. You make peanuts, they make billions. Bad fruit.

                      they have filed bankrupcy protection. It has not gone through yet, nor has it been approved. They also said they will continue on as business as usual.

                      They probably did some stupid things shortly after signing the contact with apple, (made some other bad business decisions etc etc on their own) to put them in the position they are in now.

                              Lol, looks like everything is falling apart for Apple. They've got the midas touch, everything they touch turns to sh*t. Or bends, or breaks, or goes bust.

                                I'm no financial expert or something, but I thought bankruptcy meant that they have no money left and have to close down... Not that they have millions in their bank and continue operations as normal!
