The Korea Times reports that the deteriorating relationship between Apple
and Samsung that has seen the two companies reducing their component supply
deals is now extending to LCD panels, with Samsung reportedly ending
supplies of the panels to Apple next year.
The Cupertino, California-based firm has been lowering its reliance on
Samsung-manufactured displays for use in its popular i-branded devices as it
is leveraging its influence to source components from Samsung’s rivals
attracted by better pricing.
“We are unable to supply our flat-screens to Apple with huge price
discounts. Samsung has already cut our portion of shipments to Apple and
next year we will stop shipping displays,” said a senior Samsung source,
asking not to be named, Monday.
The report claims that Samsung shipped approximately 15 million LCD panels
to Apple in the first half of 2012, with the pace falling to 3 million
panels in the third quarter and expected to drop to 1.5 million in the
fourth quarter as Apple has shifted to other suppliers.
Samsung is reportedly not involved in LCD production for the "iPad mini",
with LG Display and AU Optronics said to be handling component production.
And with Apple reportedly cutting back on memory orders from Samsung and now
designing its own A-series chips while using Samsung simply as a contract
foundry, it seems clear that Apple is steadily reducing its reliance on
Samsung as the two companies have continued to face off both in the
marketplace and in courtrooms around the world.
