So,surprised to hear but its true and not a secret apple uses samsung's components in its smartphones, but rumor has it they have looked elsewhere for the iPhone 5.
Samsung is the world’s largest manufacturer of memory chips. The DRAM memory and NAND flash memory they make has been used in Apple products for years now. As reports come in saying that Apple has been cutting orders from the South Korean giant.Reuters is reporting that Apple will use some Samsung made parts for the next-generation iPhone, however, it is trying to lessen its reliance on the company that has become a huge thorn in its side in recent years.Sources for the information say that this cut in orders from Samsung has nothing to do with the legal battles that Apple and Samsung are having all around the world.
“Apple needs Samsung to make the iPhone and iPad. Period. Samsung is the sole supplier of Apple’s processing chips and without Samsung, they can’t make these products,” James Song, an analyst at KDB Daewoo Securities in Seoul, told Reuters. “Samsung might be considering lots of options to leverage its components business’ importance and pressure Apple, and Apple could be also well aware of this.”
. Apple has already attempted to invest in smaller companies to escape their reliance on Samsung. Unfortunately, they have had no luck so far. If the rumors are true, Apple may have to turned to other large manufacturers like Toshiba, Elipida Memory, or SK Hynix
