Apple was the only major wearable device company to experience a decline in shipments in the second quarter, mainly due to the company's failure to launch a new phenotype on the first anniversary of the first-generation AppleWatch. The second quarter was the first full quarter of the sports version of AppleWatch after the price cut, how much helped the company rebound from the decline after the shopping season.

Although the market expectation for Apple's wearable devices is not as good as before, Apple Watch Series 2 still has a small complement to Taiwan's semiconductor-related supply systems, TSMC, ASE, etc. Familiar with the packaging industry, it is estimated that Apple's third season is The shipment of the new Apple Watch is expected to reach at least 3 million, and the fourth quarter is expected to be flat or small.

The Apple Watch Series 2 dual-core application processor is manufactured by TSMC's 16-nanometer process, while the SiP module S2 with dual-core application processor is also being tested by Sun Moonlight's Shanghai subsidiary, Huan Xu. The market has slight doubts about the optimistic forecast of 2 million shipments per month. However, as the outlook for traditional consumer electronics products is increasing month by month, although the fourth quarter shipment target is not yet clear, it is generally expected to be flat.

However, some industry players believe that it is still necessary to observe whether the professional sports wearable devices on the market have outstanding performance in terms of functionality and whether Apple is competitive.

Apple Watch Series 2 new generation SiP module S2, including accelerometer and gyroscope, Wi-Fi and 3G/4G wireless network chip, near field wireless communication (NFC) chip, power amplifier (PA) and radio frequency (RF) chip Etc., both will use a low-power version and be integrated into the S2 module through SiP technology.

In the SiP substrate supplier part, the previous generation was ordered by Jingshuo and Nandian. The original SiP substrate used in Series 2 has higher technical requirements for fine pitch. The new generation SiP substrate is exclusively ordered by Jingshuo. . However, it is understood that Nandian is still playing the role of a second supplier, but the difference in the proportion of shipments with Jingshuo is quite different.
