Apple will increase the purchase of NAND and RAM memory in Japan
Resource Digitimes reports that according to insider information that Apple will soon plans to increase its orders for NAND and RAM memory to be placed on the Japanese market. With references about the possibility of increasing the supply of these types of memory company reached out to Elpida and Toshiba. It is assumed that in such a way to Apple are going to reduce its dependence on the Korean company Samsung, which, although it is the largest supplier of components for the products of American companies, but recently became a direct competitor in the mobile market, and against which it was filed several lawsuits in the courts of different countries . Previously, it was learned that the production of processors Apple A6 and A7 of the company was transferred to TSMC, while processors are manufactured the A5 is Samsung. At the same time in the near future to get rid of depending on Apple does not succeed. According to unofficial information, the screens for three tablets iPad is expected to produce two plants, one of which is owned by Samsung. In this case it is a Korean company has an advantage because it has great potential to increase production of the necessary components, the need for which is often much higher than planned because of the popularity of devices. The worst effect is precisely the supply of memory devices for Apple. Samsung is the largest producer of these components in the world by producing 30% of the NAND and 40% of the RAM memory. This makes it one of the few manufacturers that can meet the growing needs of their own Apple. As the number of suppliers will inevitably face the logistical difficulties that would affect its profits, but at the same time it will be a major blow to Samsung, which will lose a profitable customer.
