"Apple had locked up 60% of the world's supply of touchscreen panel components"

This is misinformation. Come on! Think about it for one second! Apple doesn't even sell 60% of the devices in the world with touchscreens--android smartphones alone outsell all iOS touch devices. What, they're just going to hoard them? They made huge investments over YEARS (notice the plural there) for touchscreens. They did NOT run out and tell every touchscreen manufacturer that they want 60% of their production capacity nor did they buy a mass quantity for this year alone--that's moronic!

Just because some moron "analyst" makes these idiotic statements, most likely to boost stock prices, doesn't mean they are remotely true. Can we please use our brains just a little and think before regurgitating such erroneous information?
