Apple is looking to diversify its component supply lines.

Apple has decreased orders for memory chips that it purchases from arch-rival Samsung Electronics.
Samsung
has traditionally been the core supplier, producing microprocessors,
displays and memory chips used in the various Apple products ranging
from the iPhone, iPad and iPod.
Sources
say that Samsung is still providing some hardware for the upcoming
iPhone, however Apple has been slashing orders with Samsung and looking
to diversify its supply lines with other manufacturers.
According to The Korea Economic Daily, an
anonymous source within the industry has said that Apple has dropped
Samsung from the list of memory chip suppliers for the first batch of
the latest iPhone. The Cupertino giant has supposedly approached
companies like OCZ and Elipda to cater to their memory needs.
Apple
and Samsung had locked horns in a fierce patent battle that saw a US
court rule a $1 billion settlement in favour of Apple.
