You all know that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), currently developing one Cheap iPhone which he would launch on the market in the following months. Although Foxconn is the closest partner Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and the largest manufacturer of iDevices, apparently for this Cheap iPhone Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), would have chosen one partnership with Pegatron, a company that produces iPhone 4 si iPad Mini. The change comes amid a desire by Apple to diversify its line of partners, but also due to the fact that Foxconn had enough problems in manufacturing the terminal iPhone 5.
But under current Chief Executive Tim Cook, Apple is dividing its weight more equally with a relatively unknown supplier, giving the technology giant a greater supply-chain balance. People familiar with the matter point to strategic reasons for the shift: risk diversification after Foxconn's manufacturing glitches last year with the iPhone 5 that resulted in scratches on the metal casings, and Apple's decision to expand its product lines amid growing competition from Samsung and others.
Apple would have rejected up to 8 million units iPhone 5 because of poor quality, those from Foxconn having to significantly improve their production rate, but in the end it seems that they will be overlooked in the case of the new device. Apart from this problem, it seems that Foxconn at some point changed the suppliers of some components without notifying the Apple company, but the management is not satisfied with the complexity of the new Apple products either, these changes generating divergences between the two companies.
Foxconn, in its growing heft as the world's largest electronics contract company, was also getting more difficult for Apple to control, with incidents such as changing component sourcing without notifying Apple, people familiar with the matter said. At the same time, Foxconn became frustrated with the growing complexity of Apple products, such as the iPhone 5, which is difficult to make in the volumes Apple needed.
The move from Apple, if it will happen, is a very good one because it allows them to diversify their partner network in order to have greater production capacity and, probably, better quality.
