Pentru fabricarea iPhone 6, Apple a ales sa nu se bazeze in principal pe Samsung in ceea ce priveste furnizarea componentelor terminalelor, insa se pare ca Samsung va produce iPhone 6 RAM. Desi Apple a renuntat la RAM-ul produs de catre Samsung in momentul lansarii terminalelor iPhone 5S si iPhone 5C, preferand SK Hynix si Elpida, anul acesta cei din Cupertino au fost nevoiti sa revina la competitorii sai dupa refuzul noilor parteneri de a creste productia de componente.
Apple made a drastic move to begin expelling Samsung from its supplier list for a number of key components, including application processors, mobile RAM, NAND flash chips and batteries, starting 2013, the sources noted. Under this policy, Apple purchased mobile RAM from only SK Hynix and Elpida Memory (Micron Technology) for the iPhone 5 released in 2013, while removing Samsung, a long-term supplier, from the supplier list.
Dorinta celor de la Apple de a obtine preturi mici pentru RAM-ul dedicat iPhone 6 ii forteaza sa ii contracteze pe cei de la Samsung, SK Hynix si Elpida refuzand sa-si vanda produsele la preturile propuse de catre cei din Cupertino. In fata acestui refuz, compania Apple s-a vazut nevoita sa contracteze din nou Samsung pentru a fabrica RAM dedicat iPhone 6, insa ramane de vazut ce procent din productie va fi acordat coreenilor.
Recently, Apple has been asking Elpida/Micron and SK Hynix to ramp up supplies of mobile RAM, but the two firms have been reluctant to increase their shipments as chip prices offered by Apple are less than desired. To ensure steady shipments of its new iPhones, Apple has had no choice but to add Samsung again into the supplier list for mobile RAM chip, added the sources.
In final, compania Apple incearca din rasputeri sa renunte la Samsung ca si furnizor de componente pentru iDevice-urile sale, insa in lipsa unor parteneri dispusi sa-i accepte cererile, se vede nevoita sa apeleze mereu la coreeni. Conform unor informatii recete, iPhone 6 cu 1 GB RAM este pregatit de catre compania Apple pentur lansarein toamna acestui an.
