One of Apple’s suppliers Pegatron has announced their profits before the iPhone 5 release date.

Kendra Srivastava from Mobiledia is reporting that the supplier to Apple for iPhone 4 parts has reported a drop in profits of 50% for the first quarter. This points to Apple cutting down orders for the current version of the iPhone as it gears up for the iPhone 5.

The company had originally thought it would ship ten million iPhone 4s this year with a loss of $19.4 million. But now Pegatron only expects to ship about five million units by the end of 2011. The Taiwan based company is in talks with its clients to address the situation.

The statement from the company suggests that Pegatron could be making the iPhone 5, but it is not completely clear. But it is obvious that despite the release of the white version, demand for the iPhone 4 is beginning to weaken.

Apple managed to shift sixty million iPhone 4s last year, but there are predictions of the company selling 100 million iPhone 5s this year. The next handset is rumored to be both a CDMA and GSM phone allowing Apple to sell one universal device.

Josh Ong of Apple Insider is reporting that sources have said shipments of the device from Pegatron would be likely to reach “3-4 million units in the first three months, and 10 million by mid-2011.” There were rumors back in June that Pegatron had received orders for the CDMA iPhone 4.

The reports at the time said “Pegatron will also start shipping a CDMA version of the iPhone 4 to Apple in the fourth quarter and is currently using its plants in Shanghai, China to produce the products, the sources noted.” Later that month Bloomberg also said that Verizon were set to begin selling the iPhone in January 2011.

According to an analyst with Susquehanna Financial Group overseas suppliers were set to build three million CDMA devices in December for an early 2011 launch. Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg said on Thursday he hopes Verizon will eventually sell the iPhone on its long-term evolution 4G network, but nothing was said about it coming to the CDMA network. They look set to launch its LTE network in 30 US cities by the end of this year.
