Samsung Terminates LCD Contract With Apple
An anonymous reader writes "Samsung has decided to terminate an ongoing contract with Apple to supply LCD panels for use in its growing range of devices. That means, come next year, there will be no Samsung panels used across the iPad, iPod, iPhone, and Mac range of devices. The reason seems to be two-fold. On the one hand, Apple has been working hard to secure supplies from other manufacturers and therefore decrease its reliance on Samsung. On the other, Apple is well-known for demanding and pushing lower pricing, meaning it just doesn't make business sense anymore for Samsung to keep supplying Apple with displays."

... one of MANY bullshit marketing terms...
come to think of it, that applies to virtually all marketing terms.
Samsung delivery drivers can't find where to drop off the monitors when they use the GPS on their iPhones
'Retina Display' is just one of Apple's bullshit marketing terms.
Oh no way, it's totally different, you just don't get it. And soon Apple will introduce its revolutionary Eustachion Tube speakers[tm].
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
Oooh baby baby it's an iWorld...
what?
With what results? Have you found other customers who will buy comparable amounts (in aggregate) and pay higher prices? Or did your company's product volume simply decrease?
You just asked if they could make it up on volume when they clearly stated they
... were losing money on every part sold to Apple.

How pointy is your hair?
They will never make something with a form factor that can be mistaken for an iPad.
Now that the form factor of a rectangle is taken, they could always make a tablet in the shape of an "L".
Yeah but you were making it up on volume!
