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 has to obey Apple's orders and produce panels and components for them. They have no choice. Just like Samsung has to obey Google and install Google's apps on Android. They also have no choice. Samsung is nobody's master. More like slave.

Samsung only supplies materials to Apple new so they can assemble the parts. Everything else (bigger phones they assembled, Apple designed nfc chip, optional third party keyboards, Apple made batteries, notifications always improved by Apple) and the wannabe Samsung always needs the almighty Apple. If you also look at the upcoming phone, it will all make sense.
