Apple Reduces Memory Chip Orders From Samsung for New iPhone

Posted September 7, 2012 at 4:01pm by iClarified
Apple has reportedly reduced its dependency on Samsung for memory chips that will be used in the iPhone 5, according to Reuters.

Apple has been cutting back its orders from Samsung as it seeks to diversify its memory chip supply lines, although the South Korean firm remains on the list of initial suppliers for the new iPhone, the source told Reuters. The person declined to be named because the negotiations are confidential.

The Korea Economic Daily has also reported that Apple dropped Samsung from the list of memory chip suppliers for the first batch of their new smartphone. Instead the company is reportedly using Toshiba, Elpida, and SK Hynix.


"Samsung is still on the list of initial memory chip suppliers (for new iPhones). But Apple orders have been trending down and Samsung is making up for the reduced order from others, notably Samsung's handset business," the Reuters source said.

Um LG probly makes the worst phones ever. All they do is break. I've owned every LG smartphone they've made and they are garbage. Everytime I call LG they send me a new one and it breaks.
