Apple spent millions of dollars to improve its supply chain
For this occasion, it is known that Apple spared no expense in order to restore its supply chain.
Apple plans to spend $10,5 billion in 2014 to purchase large equipment and strengthen its supply chain. This will allow the company to regain its advantage over rival Samsung Electronics Co. and subsequently lay the groundwork for the production of new products.
Although $10,5 billion is a surprisingly large amount, Samsung is known to be spending twice that amount. And that Samsung
has allocated $22 billion in capital expenditures for this year.
It is worth noting that GT Advanced Technologies has just announced a $578 million agreement with Apple to produce sapphire material for the company.
However, we hope that Apple's new acquisition of machinery will significantly increase production of iPhones, iPads , and other devices. This includes equipment for polishing the new iPhone, laser machines, and testing equipment for both the iPhone and iPad cameras.
