Apple To Invest $1 Billion In Sharp For Future iPhone Displays?

We did hear rumors of Apple having problems with LG and Samsung in being able to deliver the amount of displays needed to power the iPad 2back in the day, but we didn't think that would cause such a major change in strategy and suppliers for Apple. As it stands, a note from MF Global FXA Securities outlined by Reutersmentions that Apple may invest $1 Billion in Sharp in order to secure the amount of displays it needs for future devices, which we all know are the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

According to the note:
We think it is highly possible that Apple will make an investment in Sharp’s Kameyama plant to the tune of around $1 billion in order to secure stable supply of screens for iPhones and iPads, analyst David Rubenstein said in the note.

As Apple's relationship with Samsung deteriorates, this could prove to be true. Apple has the great advantage of being able to sit on a $75 Billion cash reserve, which is even larger than what the US Government handles, so that's why it's so easy for them to land great deals in parts and ensure they'll receive full priority treatment in deliveries
