Asustek is one of the largest computer manufacturers in the world and in the opinion of Apple and many others, the Zenbook model is too similar to the MacBook Air. No matter what people think about this Zenbook, Apple he asked them those from Pegatron, which assembles iPhones and Zenbooks, to conclude the partnership with Asustek otherwise they will lose the one with Apple. Pegatron earns quite a lot of money from the partnership with Apple, so it made the decision to stop the partnership with Asustek, most likely starting from March.
Apple reportedly was unhappy about Pegatron's production of Asustek's Zenbook models, which are similar to its MacBook Air, especially in its outer design, and therefore, demand Pegatron make a choice, claimed the paper, which added that Pegatron began to assemble iPhones for Apple in 2011 and is eager to solicit orders for next-generation iPads from the vendor.
The movement of those from Apple is quite unusual, considering that now they are no longer looking to win lawsuits in court, but are reduced to forcing their partners to stop assembling products that would infringe their patents. This is only the first request from Apple, but considering that there are so many mobile terminals/laptops that resemble a product of the company from Cupertino, it is possible that we will soon see other partnerships destroyed for iDevices or Macs.
