Apple paying Apple?
Authored by: jheisey on Saturday, August 25 2012 @ 03:30 PM EDT
It is my understanding that Samsung itself manufactures the retina display for
Apple. So if Samsung had a problem manufacturing a sufficient quantity for
Apple, that would pose a problem for Apple, wouldn't it?

The question about hard drive prices is pretty simple to answer, stick with the
prices per agreement. WD had a lot of trouble just meeting their prior
commitments for quantity. Changing a contracted price is pretty much a material
breach, no one does it.

I'm sure Apple has multi-year supply contracts, and if Samsung failed to deliver
on those contracts, they would be sued, and would rightfully lose. That business
must be good for Samsung, or they wouldn't be in it, and if Samsung didn't
supply the screens, one of the competitors would quickly step in. Plus, Apple is
starting to move some of their displays to Samsung competitors.

Uh, if Samsung could have charged Apple 3x the price for parts, why weren't
they already doing so?

Come on people, econ 101.

Dear Apple,

Since you are in the habit of suing us for using the technology we manufacture
and sell to you, we will no longer be selling you any of our products.

None of the following supplier agreements will be extended and none of your
business will be accepted going forward. We expect you to finish buying all the
items you have committed to buying to date, and we will supply those items as
expediently as possible, but after that you are cut off.

Please plan appropriately.

Have a nice day.
