Samsung, Apple to rekindle the flame with new silicon agreement

Samsung and Apple may still hate each other’s guts when it comes to competing in the mobile space and in the courtroom, but the two can’t seem to live without each other. Apple attempted to stray away from Samsung for SoCs in its future phones, but it looks like Apple is realizing just how important the Korean company was in that regard.
Korea Economic Daily is reporting that Samsung and Apple have entered into a new agreement that will see the former producing chips for the latter’s smartphones beginning in 2015. The report suggests Samsung will produce a 14nm process die for the iPhone 7 — whatever that may turn out to be.

Apple’s desire to get away from Samsung from components didn’t last long, though the company is still not willing to do business in other areas. Specifically, Samsung-produced displays and RAM for Apple’s devices are still being shunned. Rumor has it Apple will be looking Samsung’s way in the future for tablet displays, but nothing is certain right now.
With Samsung’s displays touted for quality in all walks of technology, and with its expertise in producing systems-on-chips, Apple seemingly can’t resist going with the best possible product in the long run, even if that product is coming from its worst enemy. 745TDBanty 130716
