                This is not the first time apple is trying to move away from Samsung manufactured chips. It tried to move A6 production to TSMC Ltd but could not due to capacity constrains of TSMC for 28nm chips,and ultimately Samsung was awarded the contract. The new IPad had to settle for old A5 due to delay in production of A6 by TSMC. Samsung in a few years has emerged as not only one of the largest component supplier but one of the most reliable for smartphones. And since setting up a chip making foundry is a very expensive affair and is requires huge capital for regular upgrades, viability of the manufacturing can only be achieved by huge quantities. This move by apple would be a substantial loss for Samsung as well as for apple also.Samsung would loose a big client and huge quantities of Apple and apple a reliable and a deep pocketed component supplier who can invest in regular upgrades. Earlier Apple had stopped sourcing lcd screens from samsung but went back to them as other manufacturers could not provide them with quantities required for the new ipad.
                This move by apple would be a loose loose situation for both the companies.And would ultimately result in slowdown in growth of techonology.

                            AnonD-69442, 08 Sep 2012u really dont have brain... samsung electronics manufacture... moreWe are not on the same page... we agree that it's Apple's designs and Samsung just makes them for Apple's devices... but you think I think the Samsung that makes the Apple chips is different from the Samsung that makes their devices which is wrong... I know they are the same company... what I am saying is that Samsung designs suck... and Apple designs rock... it doesn't matter who makes it the chips... as long as Apple designs it it will be good.

                                      SAMSUNG SUCKS, 08 Sep 2012No... I think you are confused... what I am saying is Samsu... moreu really dont have brain... samsung electronics manufactures the chip for apple n designing is done by apple itself thats y they name it Ax chips... n same samsung electronics makes mobile phones for samsung but the division of marketing n sales is the "samsung mobile"... therefore the company making parts for iphones n samsung's phones are same.. thy r not different n thats what i m telling u...
