Samsung Display to terminate its contract with Apple Next year

Samsung is still the largest Apple screen supplier, with the first six month of this year alone shipping 15 million panels to One Infinite Loop. The second half of the year saw a dramatic decrease, though, said the source: "Samsung shipped less than 3 million to Apple during the third quarter of this year and we expect the quarterly shipment in the fourth quarter to fall to some 1.5 million."

Now all this seems to be coming to an end, as one unnamed Samsung Display exec allegedly said his company will be terminating the contract with Apple next year, due to the changed relationship with suppliers Cupertino is imposing the price per pixel from the iPad 2 to the new iPad has fallen more tahn twenty times for suppliers. Here is the official's statement:

Update [23/10]: It should be noted that a Samsung spokesman has denied this story. Although the denial is couched in the past tense, not the future. That Samsung has not tried to cut Apple supplies, rather than it will not try to. Up to you how you take that. That's mean that Samsung didn't cut the supplies from Apple, but they won't renew their contract either.
