Despite the growing animosity between Apple & Samsung as a result of the on going Patent violation court summons,its business relations are apparently intact.According to an insider report:
This news comes just moments after Samsung decided to Yank Apple merchandise in Australia & Japan claiming copyright infringement,just days after Apple won the injunction against Samsung on 2 occasions one in Australia where it prevented Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 from entering the market & the second when Samsung failed to block the Apple merchandise sale in Netherlands.With Samsung expected to net a whopping $8 Billion with the A6 deal brokered with Apple,which amounts to 5% of Samsung's total business,Apple just might be Samsung's biggest overseas client.It was already revealed in July that TSMC has already started the test production of A6 based on the 28nm process along with 3D stacking technologies.Although it is yet to seen if the deal gets torn down half way through or we can expect a turn around in the already bitter Apple Vs Samsung Saga.
Apple has been in talks with Samsung over shipment of its A6 quad-core mobile processor (AP) chips to be used in the next iPhone. It appears that Apple clearly has concluded that Samsung remains a critical business partner. [...] Samsung Electronics will apply its advanced 28-nanometer processing technology to produce qualified A6 mobile APs. TSMC will provide customized chips with designs from Apple, however, the volume will be very small.
