As we all know, 2012 is a bumper year for Samsung. How can Apple, which is a partner but also a competitor, allow it to be so unbridled? South Korean media reported that Apple would not subcontract the A7 processor to Samsung for the development of the iPhone 6, which was replaced by TSMC.
Later, Samsung insiders also revealed that they have not received the order of Apple's 20nm A7 processor yet, and the iPhone 6 will take the lead in using it. At present, Samsung's situation has become very tense. It is reported that Apple will hand over orders for A7 processors used in iPhone 6 to TSMC (it is said that the trial production will be conducted at the beginning of 2014). Of course, the precondition is that the production capacity can keep up.
Earlier, it was reported that the iPad mini 2 would abandon Samsung and use the touch panel of Taiwan manufacturer Qunchuang Optoelectronics. It can be seen that Apple's de samsung attitude is quite firm!
