Apple a incercat in ultima vreme sa diversifice numarul de companii care produc iDevice-uri si componentele asociate, iar acum aceasta strategie se muta inclusiv si in ceea ce priveste Mac-urile. Quanta Computer este in momentul de fata principalul producator de MacBook/iMac-uri pentru cei de la Apple, insa Pegatron ar urma sa preia o parte din productia de iMac-uri la cererea celor din Cupertino. Unii parteneri ai Apple sustin ca deja au trimis catre Pegatron componente care ar urma sa fie utilizate in producerea de iMac-uri, insa procesul ar putea incepe abia peste 1 an de zile, Apple avand standarde extrem de stricte in ceea ce priveste partenerii sai.
Apple reportedly may shift some of its iMac orders from Quanta Computer to Pegatron Technology, with some related upstream supply chain players revealing they sent iMac components to Pegatron recently; however Quanta Computer and Pegatron both said they have no knowledge of the reports and refused to comment on clients. Sources from the upstream supply chain pointed out that to become a qualified supplier of Apple requires a series of evaluations and pilot production. The factories used for manufacturing Apple products need to be isolated from other factories, and mass production usually takes more than one year to start.
Desi Quanta Computer este cel mai mare producator de MacBook Air/MacBook Pro/iMac-uri, acest lucru s-ar putea schimba, alte companii sunt prezentate ca fiind potentiali viitori parteneri ai celor din Cupertino. Nimeni nu stie deocamdata de ce ar vrea Apple sa schimbe compania care produce iMac-urile, insa acest lucru conteaza prea putin acum, avand in vedere ca procesul de schimbare ar fi fost inceput.
