Taiwan’s first-quarter handset shipments dropped 14.8% to 15.67 million units from 18.38 million units in the previous quarter mainly due to seasonal factors. Production was unsurprisingly reduced in the wake of the Christmas shopping season and with the long Chinese New Year holiday in February. The launch of fewer new models than the fourth quarter, because of the same seasonal factors, also contributed to the decline.
