Apple is working with suppliers in Asia on its next iPad Mini with a high-resolution display produced by Samsung, its top smartphone market rival.
Despite the two companies being bitter rivals, Apple has been forced to switch back to Samsung alongside Sharp and LG Display for high-density displays as their current provider, AU Optronics, is not able to deliver the volume it requires in a timely fashion.

The new iPad mini will source screens from Samsung’s display unit as well as from Sharp and LG. While the report stated that Apple initially planned to limit its component sources to Sharp and LG, Samsung was later added to ensure adequate supply of screens.

For the current iPad mini, Apple uses screens from LG Display and Taiwan’s AU Optronics Corp.

According to the site, the information hints at three new iPad mini models, iPad "2,8," iPad "2,9," and iPad "2,10, with code names J75, J76, and J77, pointing to one WiFi-only model and two 3G models.
