Samsung has provided many of the parts for the Apple iPhone and Apple
iPad over the years. But this year, there were some who believed that
Apple had reached an agreement with TSMC to replace Samsung as the
provider of the A7 processor that drives the Apple iPhone 5s. But
apparently that deal won't ttake affect until 2014. The recent tear down
of the new full-feature iPhone 5s that we told you about a couple of
days ago, revealed that the A7 comes from Samsung using its 28nm
process. Apple and Samsung are the tech world's version of the
Hatfields and McCoys.
The rivalry between the two is pretty intense, and yet Apple relies
on Samsung for key parts used in the device that is its most important.
This is akin to having Pepsi fill up those famous little glass Coke
bottles. While both sides are eager in a courtroom setting to appear as
though they hate each other's guts, somewhere there is a Samsung rep and
an Apple parts buyer who can always get together and shake hands on a
deal.
