Samsung will reportedly supply Apple with 9.7-inch and 12.9-inch display panels for its new iPad series, according to inews24 via DigiTimes.
Samsung will reportedly dedicate most supply from a 5G Plane to Line Switching (PLS) line to Apple and begin making shipments before the end of 2014. The report also went on to say that currently about two-thirds of LG Display's small-size panel shipments are going to Apple due to iPhone 6 and Apple Watch orders.
Apple is rumored to be launch a new iPad Air as early as next month and a larger 12.9-inch 'iPad Pro' with a more power A8X processor sometime next year.

Samsung only supplies materials to Apple for assembly. Everything else, like the phone design, Apple-designed NFC chips, 3rd party keyboards, batteries, and notification improvements, are Apple's work. Samsung serves as a key supplier in this partnership.
