Foxconn si Pegatron asambleaza in momentul de fata tablete iPad Mini pentru compania Apple, insa in curand lor li s-ar putea alatura compania asiatica Wistron. Conform publicatiei asiatice DigiTimes, Apple ar fi vizitat si certificat fabricile taiwanezilor de la Wistron ca fiind capabile sa asambleze tablete iPad Mini, insa niciuna dintre cele doua companii nu comenteaza zvonul. Anul trecut compania Apple a avut probleme in a produce indeajuns de multe tablete iPad Mini pentru a suplini cererea de pe piata, iar Wistron ar putea fi o rezolvare pentru problemele trecutului.
Apple has visited factories of Taiwan-based ODM Wistron and has qualified Wistron for OEM production of iPad mini, according to Taiwan-based supply chain makers. However, Wistron declined to comment. Apple has continued to adjust its supply chain through selecting new component makers and OEMs since Tim Cook assumed the role of CEO, the sources indicated. In order to enter Apple’s supply chain, Wistron has set up dedicated production lines to meet Apple’s strict requirements, the sources said. Since Wistron manufactures notebooks, tablets and smartphones, its qualification for iPad mini production will give it a chance of obtaining orders for MacBook, iPad and iPhone in the future, the sources analyzed.
Cei de la Wistron pot furniza companiei Apple linii dedicate pentru asamblarea de tablete iPad si avand in vedere ca ei produc deja notebook-uri, nu ar fi exclus ca in viitor colaborarea sa fie extinsa si la producerea de MacBook-uri. Separat de Wistron, compania Apple ar fi ales si doi noi furnizori de baterii pentru iPhone-urile sale, insa deocamdata se stie doar ca aceste companii ar avea sediul in Taiwan. Nu se stie daca vorbim despre vreo tehnologie noua utilizata in aceste baterii, sau este doar o tentativa a celor de la Apple de a isi diversifica furnizorii, insa noi nu ar trebui sa resimtim vreun impact negativ in urma acestei modificari.
In addition to Wistron, Apple has selected two Taiwan-based notebook battery pack makers to supply battery packs for use in a new-generation iPhone, the sources indicated.
