LG Electronics and Magna International tie-up is reportedly close to an Apple Car deal
One of the most interesting rumors that has come out of Cupertino in the last several years has nothing to do with smartphones or computers. The most interesting rumor swirling around having to do with Apple is the long-rumored Apple EVr. Many people have thought EVr's commitment despite the relatively short development period would indicate that Cupertino was finally interested in realizing electric car technology.
Not much has ever been happening with Cupertino's charge for electric cars especially over the past two decades. When Steve Jobs was rolling out the iPhone, he was teasing the iPhone 2. This was made of 15-inch, 160×80 pixel display on a stupid plastic he's that went into the iPhone's white front panel. There were no iPhones of version 1.0.
The last EPIC event in 2012 was expected to show that Apple was close to mass production of their own electric car, but all was quiet, or quietingly silent for that matter.
Well, it's been a while since 2012, with new products like the Apple TV and the recently announced Apple Pencil — and a few big announcements to follow. And that brings us to today's announcement of LG Magna as Apple's new auto supplier.
From the Asia Times:
LG Electronics and company known as LG Medical Enterprises Japan (LGMI) have reportedly made a deal to enter into a contract for electronic sales of iPhones, iPads and iMacs in China, the report said.
Geez! There's a surefire way to find out how big Apple is: find out how big LG is. No big surprise there at all. LG already makes money on other people's technology due to its locations over it's home country, South Korea.
Now that's why I bought a Zoid, so I can tell if it's on Samsung's side. Or they have a 4.3in screen and will only replace the bottom. Mind you, I need a cheap second-hand one anyway, because it's my Canon camera. Pick me up a battery first I think it will last me another six months or so.
LG is primarily invested in the automotive industry and is already a supplier of ADAs.
We have: the 2017 Hyundai i30 S55 to the Dealer
LG's non-driven sedan is expected to go on sale in China in just over a week. The car is unlikely to ever come to the US for obvious reasons. There are LG vehicles available in the US, but also fairly significant work to do to adapt the infotainment system to American users. Here's hoping they get their shit together quicker than Google and Apple.
Apple can't kill innovation in the car industry just because Apple makes
