5 Suppliers Apple Inc. May Have Ousted From The iPhone 6

Apple Inc.'s AAPL latest iPhone has finally arrived, but the first full teardown could be at least a few days away.

Now that investors have read about the suppliers that are most likely to be found inside of the iPhone 6, it's time to take a look at those who may not be so lucky.

1. GT Advanced Technologies

To be clear, Apple never said that its agreement with GT Advanced Technologies GTAT had anything to do with the iPhone 6.

Investors now know Apple wanted the sapphire to build watches. GT Advanced could still make it into the iPhone 6 in some other capacity, but its sapphire is definitely not in the display.

2. Peregrine Semiconductor

Peregrine Semiconductor PSMI appears to be the only company that has come clean about its iPhone status.

While its technology could be found in older models, Peregrine will not be supplying any components for the iPhone 6. The company hopes to come back to Apple for the iPhone 6S (or whatever the next model may be), but supply contracts are not finalized for that device.

3. STMicroelectronics

STMicroelectronics STM has benefited from Apple's use of accelerometers and gyroscope sensors, but the gravy train could soon be over. According to Barron's, Apple might have chosen InvenSense's technology over similar components from STMicroelectronics.

4. InvenSense

While the Barron's report states that InvenSense INVN could win big with the iPhone 6, a Forbes analysis suggests that Apple may not have replaced STMicroelectronics with InvenSense.

5. LG Display

LG Display LPL no longer has an exclusive contract to supply Apple with in-cell displays. While that doesn't mean LG has been completely barred from the iPhone 6, it is not yet known how many (if any) displays will be contributed.
