Digitimes has posted list of component makers who have received orders for Apple’s upcoming fourth generation iPhone. Foxconn will again be the assembler for the new iPhone like it was for the iPhone 3GS. Apple has added Chimei Innolux to its previous LCD panel suppliers TPK and Wintek, as it is believed that iPhone demand will continue to rise.

New to the iPhone fold are camera module suppliers Largan Precision and Genius Electronic, who will be replacing OmniVision as the main camera module supplier for iPhone. It was also rumored that LG Innotek might join as a camera module supplier for the next gen iPhone.

Foxconn started receiving components from suppliers for fourth generation iPhone in April and mass production should start early this month. No word on launch date yet, but it is rumored that Apple will announced the iPhone in June.
