Apple’s relationship with Samsung is really nothing but dust now, with the iPhone maker looking to really get rid of Samsung out of their lives for good. Well now we have a senior Samsung official talking to the Korea Times that Apple have made it quite clear that they have no plans to use Samsung technology in the future.
Apple’s new iPhone 5 sports an A6 processor that was designed in-house, and Samsung’s only responsibility with the processor was to be a foundry partner, and that’s it. On past Apple-based processors, Samsung were involved in both chip design and development.
Apple will now have to not only find another partner, but they’re going to need a partner with the fabrication prowess that Samsung has, so who are we left with? Well, Apple could jump into bed with TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) – who are the world’s largest contract chip manufacturer.
