Have you actually reviewed the story of GT Advanced?
Apple bent over backwards to forgive late delivery, and GT Advanced repeatedly lied about what they’d actually achieved.
Apple surely turns the screws on it’s suppliers, but GT Advanced isn’t a very good example of this, the producers just lied about what their capabilities (and mid-stream accomplishments!) were.
- Animats 8y agoHave you actually reviewed the story of GT Advanced? Yes. They originally wanted to just sell furnaces to Apple, but Apple pushed them into a deal where GT Advanced took all the risk of making the end product. The management of GT Advanced should have rejected that deal, but they took the "fake it til you make it" route, and it didn't end well. There's still litigation underway involving Apple.
