• Apple recently asked its suppliers to cut production on new iPhones again, the Nikkei Asian Review reported on Wednesday.
• The revelation came just a week after the tech giant slashed its revenue forecast and blamed slumping sales on a slowdown in China.
• Wall Street has already warned about supply-chain companies with a high dependence on Apple.
• Here are the companies with a large percentage of revenues coming from Apple.

Apple's waning product demand is likely to impact not just the tech giant itself, but also its suppliers.

On Wednesday, the Nikkei Asian Review reported that Apple late last month asked its suppliers to cut production on new iPhones by 10% for the January-March quarter. It was the second time in two months that the tech giant trimmed its planned production for its iPhone devices.

The report comes just a week after the company said its revenue in the holiday quarter would be more than 7% lower than it expected and blamed slumping sales on a slowdown in China amid Trump's trade war.

With Apple products becoming less popular, companies that rely heavily on Apple are also under pressure. On Tuesday, Skyworks Solutions, which provides radio-frequency solutions for Apple, cut its earnings guidance, citing impacts by unit weakness across their largest smartphone customers. Skyworks is just one of the handful of Apple suppliers that slashed their forecast in the past few days.

And Wall Street has already been sounding the alarm on supply-chain companies with a high dependence on Apple.
