The rumor about Apple made Samsung fall in price by $ 10 billion

    Samsung’s market value fell by $ 10 billion in a few hours. Thus, the collapse of the South Korean giant’s stocks became the most serious in 4 years. Another major memory producer, Hynix, also suffered, with shares dropping 9% to a low of the last 20 weeks.

    Such shocks occurred after rumors spread about Apple's huge order for the production of RAM chips from Elpida.

    The latter was about to file for bankruptcy in February this year, and Apple probably wants to keep the Japanese company afloat so that it is less dependent on Samsung, Hynix and other suppliers.

    The South Korean company declined to comment, and a spokeswoman for Hynix said the company began to receive more orders for DRAM chips from its customers, without, however, commenting on a possible reduction in orders from Apple.
