A few months ago it was rumored that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), is interested in purchasing Renesas, its supplier of chips that contain the software that controls touchscreens iPhone, iPad si iPod Touchof the Although Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), negotiated with those from Renesas for a long period of time, Asians chose an offer made by those from Synaptics, a major supplier of components for Samsung.
475 million dollars is the amount spent by those from Synaptics for the company Renesas, those from Synpatics intending to implement their own technologies in Renesas chips. The idea behind the Renesas changes is to reduce the production costs of the chips for controlling the screens, with Synaptics preparing a new component that includes multiple sub-assemblies, the technology not being available on the market now.
It is hard to say how the relationship between Apple and Renesas will evolve after this acquisition, but there is a chance that in the future those from Cupertino will choose another supplier that is not related to Samsung.
