It has been rumored for some time that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), intends to buy some factories, or to open only others to produce part of their products or components for them, and a recent report indicates that this process has already begun. It seems that Apple would have purchased equipment from Foxconn factories and would have transferred them to the factories of Compal, a competitor of Foxconn. For now, it is not known what equipment it is, but their value is 216.3 million dollars, according to the documentation submitted by Foxconn to the Taiwan stock exchange.
Although Foxconn noted in its documentation that it sold these equipment to Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, the company denies the information, and this is probably based on the fact that Apple would have canceled a series of orders for iDevices. Unfortunately, it is not known what Apple intends to do with these new devices, but probably in the following months we will all find out its secret plans.
