            Apple is the architect and the owner of the chip, Samsung is employed by Apple to make the chip.
            To be clear, Samsung has no right over the chip. Others can also make the chip as well, just Samsung offered the lowest price to make it. And given the history between Apple and Samsung, the Samsung price was probably extremely low in order to get the contract(with the hidden intention probably, to copy part of it at least, later).

                              at least though not doing it very boldly because of (THE) most obvious reason of being very haughty and most superciliously proud no matter what and in spite of, because of this occurrence, Apple has just admitted whether they like it or not, that Samsung, is much bigger, a lot better, far greater, and most undoubtedly, more!; if not the most advanced, creative, and innovative I.T. company this planet has to offer right now! HAIL Asia!, HAIL Samsung! Your great work and even greater, if not the greatest move of making Apple SoC in spite of all that they have done to you, is truly commendable! Because of this, what you have just shown to the world is that You, are not just true inventor and innovator, but indeed, very helpful, and merciful as well!…

                              Just keep-it-up!, and I, together with all the fair and honest techies allover the world are very much looking forward for the arrival of the Galaxy S 6! and of course, as clear; and/or even clearer than Crystal, Fanboys are also diligently waiting, and very much looking forward for the arrival of the iPhone 6 Plus S, in which the (S), then stands for?, SAMSUNG!………

                                      Apple will announce next iPhone with 14nm "MAGIC".
                                      Trust me!
                                      But if Apple is selling also some next iPhones(6S) with TSMC's 16nm without telling you, who is the stupid one??? Me, or you?
                                      BTW if TSMC's 16nm works for Apple's next phone, WHY TSMC NOT MAKE THEM ALL??
                                      Or you just believe on the iSpeculations in this article and don't even try to think?
