Apple will use Samsung component on A7 Chip?
Apple and Samsung are competitor and *NOT so good business partners (they have proved that with the series of legal suite over each other).
It is now past that, Apple's A6 and A6X chips were made by Samsung. Also it is rumored that A7 chips would not be any different and will use Samsung's component
A7 chips are rumored to be use in iPhone 5 and future iPads.
NOTE: A news was rumored in June this year for all future chips Apple reached a deal with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. If that's the case why Apple is taking the risk?
However is it possible that Samsung may ask Apple not to use their components and can cause worries to Apple's near future plans?

Jeffrey ArulrajWell Samsung screens where used in some of the previous models of the Bitten Creature
Still apple Sued Samsung for copyright infringement
When will they stop talebearing each other and start to think a little out of the box -
Neeraj SharmaGiven all the lawsuits issues between the two companies in the recent past, it will be interesting to see whether Samsung collaborates with Apple..

Samsung receives a lot of revenue from manufacturing the chips, its a very lucrative business. If they let Apple go to someone else, they will lose out. Besides, the chips are designed by Apple.. they can just bring the design to TSMC. If Apple sticks to them, then at least Samsung can get a portion of Apple's success. Sorta a Win-Win situation for Samsung.crazyboyHowever is it possible that Samsung may ask Apple not to use their components and can cause worries to Apple's near future plans?
The risk that Apple would face if TMSC's manufacturing processes are at least on par with Samsung's. -
Abhishek RawalDuring release of ipad mini2, few tech bloggers opened the mini & found that Samsung screen was used in it.
BTW It was same time when patent infringement case was going on between Samsung & Apple.
So,in return Samsung increased 40% rate of it's every component which were sold to Apple.
Apple's main rival is Google's Android,not Samsung.They filed case against Samsung because during that period Samsung alone was leading Android phone seller (& still is).
Seems like Apple has realised that it's not possible to stop Opensource development.Tizen,Ubuntu,Sailfish & Firefox are also emerging.How will they stop 'em ? 😉
Apple = Patent Trolls.
You guys have plenty of money & I dont see any change/upgrade in hardware & software side.
Same old White+light blue GUI.
If Canonical had dollar bills equal to Apple,they would've moved the world upside down. -

Apple already has a deal with TMSC for the same.ashthey can just bring the design to TSMC.

Jeffrey ArulrajSome of the greatest hypocrisy in between the Bitten and the Sam is really funny
Apple pays millions to get a product from Samsung And sues samsung and gets back half of the money back
But the worst thing is the way their parts are almost similar except the battery standard of both firms
