Falling iPhone sales hit Foxconn’s bottom line

Foxconn saw its net profit fall as interest in it is key partner, Apple, falls.

Net income in October-December fell 6.67 percent to $1.6 billion while revenue slipped 4.69 percent.

Foxconn’s stonking profits largely depend on the fruity cargo cult Apple, a situation which is likely to get worse after the outfit wrote a $3.5 billion takeover of ailing Japanese electronics firm Sharp which makes screens for Jobs’ mob.

The company said that while it enjoyed a 12.51 percent rise in full-year profit the drop in sales in the last three months reflected a slowdown at Apple, which saw the slowest sales growth ever of iPhones in the same period and warned of a decline in the current quarter.
