Apple reportedly was unhappy about Pegatron's production of Asustek's Zenbook models, which are similar to its MacBook Air, especially in its outer design, and therefore, demand Pegatron make a choice, claimed the paper, which added that Pegatron began to assemble iPhones for Apple in 2011 and is eager to solicit orders for next-generation iPads from the vendor.
Pegatron's current production of Zenbooks will stop by the end of March at the earliest, and Asustek will be forced to outsource the Zenbooks either to Compal Electronics or Wistron, added the paper.
