The successor of iPhone 4S might not contain components from Samsung

The release date of Apple iPhone 5 opened another box of news and rumours for the technology giant. iPhone 5 is scheduled to launch on September 12, 2012 as relayed by an Apple invite in its own mysterious fashion.

According to Reuters latest report, Apple is minimising orders from Samsung for internal iPhone 5 components, and the reason has no relation with the ongoing patent wars between the leading smartphone manufacturers.

Samsung is still scheduled to supply some components for Apple’s iPhone 5, but Apple is planning to reduce its dependence on the South Korean manufacturer.

Reports about the iPhone 5 using Sharp as the screen manufacturer are flooding the market. It is alleged that Apple is planning to broaden its supply chain by looking for more manufacturers.

The Korean Economic Daily reported that Apple has drastically reduced the orders for the components of the iPhone 5 from Samsung in the primary production run. LG Display, and other Japanese and Chinese companies, including Sanyo are reported to be the suppliers of the critical components of the iPhone 5.

Rumours in the market suggest that the demand of Apple’s iPhone 5 will exceed the supply of the smartphone. Leaked information suggests that Apple is planning to incorporate the technology of Nano-Sims. ifun.de already claims that German retail stores have received stock of iPhone 5 SIM cards.

Apple has already begun arrangements for the release of iPhone 5 by preparing the Yerba Buena Centre in San Francisco.
