Apple Finds New Battery Supplier to replace Samsung.

The bond between Apple and Samsung, as lucrative because it is for both parties, has soured and may continue for this more rapidly as both companies distance themselves from the other. According to reports, Apple has selected Amperex Technological innovation Limited and Tianjin Lishen Battery to deliver iPad and MacBook batteries immediately after Samsung SDI stopped providing electric batteries to Apple.

Samsung denied boosting prices of Apple’s processor costs as retaliation for patent battle losses. Rumors are also swirling about Apple seeking other potential processor manufacturers to replace Samsung. It is easy to recognise why these companies would appear to want to distance themselves from the other after a brutal patent scenario. Unfortunately for Apple, a very good chunk of Apple’s components usually are manufactured by Samsung, and very few component manufacturers have the available capacity to handle Apple’s growing needs.

In the longer term, the two companies will continue to get a working relationship, because it is mutually beneficial together. But they will continue to sever their relationship forward motion as they compete to edge the other in the mobile industry.
