      A trend apple started:

      PALO ALTO, U.S. For Apple, Hon Hai Precision Industry is not just a subcontractor. It is a business partner. And though both sides are taking steps to reduce their mutual dependence, their fortunes remain very much entwined.

      Their ties deepened in 2000, when Foxconn Technology Group – as Hon Hai is known – landed an order to produce Apple’s iMacs. The duo had worked together on parts production before, but this was a major turning point. Apple’s high quality standards forced the Taiwanese supplier to sharpen its technological edge.
