We recently talked about Apple’s intentions to break the established relationship with Samsung in terms of cooperation for the production of iDevice but it seems like the relationship between these two companies are still cordial, at least regarding the manufacturing of iDevices. Surprise, surprise! Apparently, the new iPad 2 models delivered by Apple contain new display drivers for its screen and the surprise lies in the fact that these drivers come from Samsung and not the usual LG. Until recently, all of the iPad 2 tablets were supplied with LG drivers but now Apple has shaken things up a little and turned to Samsung, although these two companies have numerous lawsuits filed in the American courts. But business is business, right?
In my opinion, Apple didn’t changed what it should have. Almost all of the iPad 2 tablets have problems with backlight bleeding and some of them reclaim problems with the color’s screen. As a result, Apple should have changed the touch panel suppliers and not the drivers’ providers for them. I guess that Apple wants either to reduce its dependence on LG or strengthen its partnership with Samsung.
Otherwise I fail to see why they would want to change the drivers for their screens since no one complained about their poor functionality. At the end of the day, Apple wages wars in courts and, at the same time, is working with Samsung to produce iDevices but at some point the relationship between the two companies could “permanently break.”
Some are speculating that Apple changed their display driver in order to accommodate the release of a better iPad that would boast a higher resolution. We’re curious to find out about the future outcome of this dangerous game played by Apple and Samsung. There are bound to be some consequences, isn’t it? What do you think?
