Samsung-vs-Apple

We all know the history between Samsung and Apple, and to be honest I am surprised that it took Samsung so long, but it has been reported that Samsung will, as of next year, stop supplying Apple with LCD screens. It is common knowledge that Samsung has been cutting back on shipments to Apple and an official told the Korea Times that “we are unable to supply our flat-screens to Apple with huge price discounts”.

But as I stated, I am quite surprised that Samsung has still been selling anything to Apple after the US court case which found Samsung to be infringing on Apple’s patent and cost Samsung $1 Billion. There are major implications to this though as Samsung and Apple have been business partners for an extremely long time, and Apple can of course go somewhere else to purchase LCD screens for their devices, it is not so easy for Samsung to find a huge company to sell to.

It seems as though Samsung are looking towards Amazon for large future orders, and hopefully this continues, with Amazon already stepping up orders.
