(GSM Insider) - There are much rumours stated that Apple set to abandon Samsung after recent involvement in the lawsuit between both companies. However, this seems like not the case at the moment as Apple still rely on Samsung on the hardware of its smaller iPad.


From the latest disassembled of iPad Mini, the display and the A5 processor were manufactured by Samsung. Seems like Apple still relying heavily on Samsung for the display and processor production. Whether Apple set to abandon Samsung completely and swift to LG display or Sharp for the display, it remains unknown. 

According to many analysts, Apple trying to cut down the tie with Samsung to show that they can survive without Samsung. Recently, Apple decided to search for multiple manufacturers to produce the chips and components for its devices. For example, the NAND memory chip in iPhone 5 currently manufactured by SK Hynix and ELPIDA instead of Samsung. Apple also set to abandon Samsung in the production of Apple processor and opted for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.
