Apple has reportedly forced manufacturer Pegatron to stop making Asustek’s Zenbook if it wants to keep its orders for iOS devices. Apple’s ultimatum stems from the Zenbook’s similarity to the MacBook Air, according to a 9to5 Mac article that cites a Chinese language piece.
Pegatron recently received iPhone orders from Apple and is rumored to be one of the suppliers for the iPad 3 that many expect to be announced next month. Ironically, Pegatron is an Asustek spin-off, but it is expected to cease making the Zenbook by the end of March.
