Foxconn splitting with Apple?

Foxconn, Apple's longtime collaborator that manufactures Apple’s iPhones and iPads, and Apple might break up their business arrangement in the near future. Foxconn played a key part in Apple and iPhone’s success -- the iPhone would have certainly been priced higher if Foxconn was not its manufacturer, according to Sohu News. Foxconn’s transition may not less of a proactive move than a self-preservation measure to help Apple’s shift away from its former main client. After Apple returned a large shipment of iPhone 5s to Foxconn, Apple began to lean more on Pegatron, a Taiwan-based manufacturer similar to Foxconn.
