            Anonymous, 26 Jan 2015The funny thing is that samsung still making chips to Apple... moreLmfao!!! You will try and twist everything on any page any chance you get.

            Apple is the one who couldn't move away despite their despising of Samsung.
            At least 70% of the world's smart phones....that's just smart phones....not talking tablets, computers, laptops, or any other handheld...electrical...device or product that uses Samsung....
            At least 70% of the world's phones use at least a Samsung memory alone....let alone the ones that use other parts as well. Some use memory, cpu, camera, and all the works.

            Apple requires Samsung for a quality product that is made in mass quantities as well as in a timely fashion.

            And poor sales? Samsung is still number 1 in sales. The S5 didn't sell as well because it was over hyped in rumours and the competition has gotten really strong from budget manufacturers.
            It still has sold very well. As did the Note 4. And many other devices as well.

            You always grasp at straws to try and make things fit in your bias sad little world.

              I said it months ago. Chipset from China province of Taiwan TSMC are the culprit in all unstable iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

              The iPhone 6/6 Plus uses Samsung A8 CPU so far so good and are the most stable one.

                For factual sake why would say Samsung was behind the A7 and only part of the A8.....When they made EVERY chip leading up to and still partially the A8. Not just the A7. There is a pretty large difference.

                  Pebble, 26 Jan 2015The funny thing is Apple can't manufacture their own chips.... moreThe funny thing is that samsung still making chips to Apple regardless that its rival company when it comes to phone...

                  Meaning they need money, so they need Apple cause there phones are not selling well...

                  Android fans are only good at words but no action.. If they do love samsung they should buy samsung products to help samsung outsell their phones not by trolling in Apples forum and bashing everywhere,... Lol..

                  Peace fandroid...

                        How can Samsung have time to make chips for Apple now that it also has to make Exynos to fill the vacuum left by Qualcomm leaving the scene because of overheating issue?

                                Why is Samsung even helping the patent troll. Samsung should partner with Qualcomm, AMD, etc.
