Zhen Ding, Flexium, and EMC will benefit
Apple is preparing for the launch of their new (5G) iPhone as the fifth-generation of mobile communication. It has already finalized the most important orders for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and related materials for the first batch. EMC, Zhen Ding, and Flexium are among the first to be listed as the beneficiaries, and they will become the first batch of component factories to receive the orders for the 5G iPhone business. 
       Samsung, Huawei, OPPO, Mi and other non-Apple manufacturers have successively released their 5G mobile phones, so the delayed launch time for a 5G iPhone from Apple has been met with much concern and attention. With the news that Apple has already selected its PCB supplier for their new 5G iPhone, it means that the 5G iPhone is likely to be released in the second half of this year. Since 5G is a brand new specification, it is expected that it will set off a huge wave of device innovation, which should help drive a new wave of momentum for the stock market.
       As a rule, EMC, Zhen Ding, and Flexium will not comment on individual customers and orders, but from the layout of factories, it has already disclosed that they are preparing for the major clients with 5G orders. Besides, it is rumored among the foreign investment circle that EMC will be re-enlisted as the primary supplier of materials for Apple motherboards this year. Given the fact that EMC is the leading player of halogen-free substrates for mobile phones worldwide, it certainly has the advantage of material technology, and this is the reason why it is favored with priority by Apple. 
       It is understood that the demand for heat dissipation of 5G is much higher than that of 4G. Due to the design requirements for new materials such as SLP and FPC, EMC has overcome both heat resistance and heat dissipation characteristics and has sufficiently prepared for the specifications of 5G smart phones. In the future, when the infrastructure of the communication market is in place, it can more flexibly and quicker combine with FPB modules to increase the supply.
        As for Zhen Ding, it will work with customers to respectively set up dedicated testing departments in 5G applications. Zhen Ding emphasizes that the company's long-term growth and development goals will be based on the continuous investment in advanced technology research and development and continue to cooperate with the market demand for research and development in related 5G applications.  
       Flexium’s total share of the FPC global market last year was about 5.5% to 6%, which should continue to increase this year. To vie for business opportunities in 5G-related applications, Flexium conducted a layout three years ago, and it is expected to harvest tremendous return this year.
         For the development of next generation materials, Flexium is planning to partner with materials manufacturers to develop ceramics and even high-frequency materials, working with customers on the development of new liquid crystal materials (LCP), which are considered crucial components. The goal is to, with support from multiple innovative technologies, open more new applications in the terminal market. (News source: Economic News)
