Samsung Terminates LCD Contract With Apple

[wraggster]

Samsung has decided to terminate an ongoing contract with Apple to supply LCD panels (http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/samsung-terminates-lcd-contract-with-apple-20121022/) for use in its growing range of devices. That means, come next year, there will be no Samsung panels used across the iPad, iPod, iPhone, and Mac range of devices. The reason seems to be two-fold. On the one hand, Apple has been working hard to secure supplies from other manufacturers and therefore decrease its reliance on Samsung. On the other, Apple is well-known for demanding and pushing lower pricing, meaning it just doesn't make business sense anymore for Samsung to keep supplying Apple with displays."
