              Finally apple realized that withour proper lythography their brilliant chips worth nothing. TSMC has no real 22nm process (only faked one) and they are lightyears away from working 14 nm. Apple simply does not wish to lag behind the rest of the mobile word so they must use Samsung. And its well worth it for Sammy too :)

                  Samsung will do anything to keep Apple as a customer. They know that iphones will always sell and hence their chips.

                                  Oh well, We all know that these two companies are big. But they have differences, Apple knows what they have and they sell it. that's why they profit rising up. Samsung knows that they have big lost so at this point, they can't fight. The only thing that Samsung will survive because of apple giving their hand to them because they know that Samsung has a reputation name in the industry. Apple will shake but never collapse! Samsung knows how to make chips and Apple has the quality of material, why not combine?! :) peace out!
