Despite a report in the
Korea Times on Monday quoting a Samsung Display executive as saying that
Samsung would stop shipping displays to Apple next year, the Korean based tech giant has
refuted the quote
and says that the strange relationship between the two will continue.
Obviously, Apple and Samsung feel at ease with each other regardless if
it's in the courtroom or in the boardroom.
The
report earlier Monday in the Korean paper said that because of
discounts, Samsung was not earning enough money from sales of its
displays to Apple which led to the decision by Samsung to stop shipping
product to the Cupertino based firm. Samsung, denying the entire story,
has requested that the
Korea Times
edit it. Both sides are at each other's throats in a series of court
battles around the world. As a result, Apple has said that it
wants to end its reliance on Samsung for certain critical parts that go into products that Apple competes against Samsung with, such as the processor and displays for the
Apple iPhone 5 and the
third generation Apple iPad.
Apple has been looking to source displays from LG and Sharp and recent water cooler talk has the company
replacing Samsung with TSMC for chips.
