Japan manufacturers said to gear up for Apple and iPhone 6 Machine tool and component makers in Japan are seeing brisk orders as components for the next-generation iPhone go into production. But Japanese suppliers are also looking beyond Apple.

Manufacturers are getting ready to make a 5.5-inch Apple device. Apple/Screenshot by Brooke Crothers/CNET Activity at Japan-based machine tool manufacturers and component suppliers is brisk for the next-generation iPhone. But it's not all good news, according to Japan's Nikkei business daily.

Domestic orders for industries connected to the next-gen iPhone are "booming," Nikkei said in the online Japanese-language version of the daily.

Orders from China for machine tools are at a "high level" as select Chinese component makers for the next iPhone have begun mass production, the report said.

Specifically, orders for machine tools bound for China jumped 7.5 times compared to a year ago, accounting for 15 percent of all orders received by Japanese manufacturers, "thanks to demand created by the new iPhone model," Nikkei said.

While not all machine tool orders are necessarily for the so-called iPhone 6, orders related to specific Apple procurement -- aka the "Apple ecosystem" -- are a big factor in driving the orders, according to Nikkei.
