TAIPEI -- Shares of iPhone camera lens maker Largan Precision plunged Wednesday, closing down nearly 10%, after the supplier to gadget maker Apple warned that its revenue in December will fall, versus the previous month, during a traditionally strong period for iPhone shipments.

According to a report by Taiwan's Economic Daily News published Wednesday, Largan's weakness in December comes from a drop in orders from some customers, although it did not specify which ones.
