The sell-off immediately followed Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)'s announcement that it won't be using Imagination Technologies' chips in its new products. According to a CNBC report, Imagination develops chips that provides the graphics in iPhone, iPad and iPod products.

Apple ranks as Imagination Technologies' biggest clients and the report prompted the stock to fall to its lowest point since 2009. Instead, Apple said it will be developing its own technology as it wants to reduce its future reliance on companies such as Imagination and will cease using its products within 15 months to two years.

Imagination Is Fighting Back

Imagination said in a press release that Apple hasn't provided any evidence to support its claim that it can develop the technologies in-house without violating its patents, intellectual property and confidential information.
