I remember Samsung CEO emailed their investor before saying "As for semiconductors, we will widen the gap with our competitors by strengthening our technological leadership..." well I guess loosing a good paying client does not strengthen thier leadership.

Apple has started testing a new iPhone and the next version of its iOS software, news website The Next Web reports.
Application developers have found in their app usage logs references to a new iPhone identifier, iPhone 6.1, running iOS 7 operating system, the website reported.
Apple's iPhone 5 bears the identifiers "iPhone 5.1" and "iPhone 5.2" and is powered by iOS 6 operating system.
Developer logs show that the app requests originate from an internet address on Apple's Cupertino campus, suggesting that Apple engineers are testing compatibility for some of the popular apps, the website said.
Advertisement "Although OS and device data can be faked, the unique IP footprint leading back to Apple's Cupertino campus leads us to believe this is not one of those attempts," the website said.
Apple launched iPhone 5 in September and it has been reported that the new iPhone will be released in the middle of 2013.

while andoid jellybean can run very smoothly on ace plus , xperia j and e and galaxy music and mini 2 and by custom roms or cyanogenmod on single core cortex a5 chips with 512mb of ram , ios and wp8 cannot even run on single cores! and now ios will be moving to quad core and even without having multitasking ( true multitasking) and widgets! and wp8 without multitasking is rebooting! and lumia 610 was very smooth with its static boring tiles but cannot even run skype or angry birds and will lag a lot in apps! so what trolls?

Quad, hex even octo core is rubbish when no optimization in programming code. Apple is playing a catch up game nowadays, no innovation. Apple is the new Nokia.

Samsung will/should have known about this for some time already ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSMC
"On Friday, August 12, 2011, the partnership between TSMC and Apple was announced and TSMC has begun trial production of the A5 (dual core) and the A6 chip for Apple's next-generation iPads and iPhones."
What's to stop Samsung from buying tons of publicly traded shares in this Co., and profiting from
the TSMC / Apple partnership ?
Would be a good way at getting back at Apple IMO.

Everyone who's saying that TSMC is a poor chinese company that won't be able to make as good quality chips needs a reality check. Firstly, TSMC is not chinese, its Taiwanese.
Secondly, they already make Nvidia's GPU's, AMD Processors and GPU's and have been doping so for use. they take the designs from any company they work with and then make the chips. There's simply no matter of quality issue's, they either make them or they don't, they wouldnt be in business if they werent capable of doing so and have been doing so for many years.

AnonD-58835, 02 Jan 2013Samsung will produced 510 millions mobile smartphones, and ... moreim NOT Taiwanese and i think ur argument there is weak.. it is TAIWAN, not CHINA and FYI, theres a lot of electronic giant based in TAIWAN like ASUS,MSI,HTC,LEADTEK,FOXCONN u named it and i bet u use 1 of their product.. the usb flash drive itself from TAIWAN.. LENOVO for example, from china.. just because CHINA is king of duplicate and low quality product (mostly) which affect TAIWAN since both is Chinese,not all their product is crap.. TSMC is world largest semiconductor manufacturer and it is TAIWANESE company to be exact and i also bet their chip or product is feature in the electronic device u own now and u proud to say ur device is the best not knowing u also agree that TSMC product is best as it feature in the device which u held now.. i dont think that it will be crap or low quality chip since they just produce according to what the apple want and approve.. i dont see the reason why Apple should not produce their chip with TSMC since there is quality control, experience, qualification and also high technology expertise with them..
