Samsung To Design A6 Processor For the Next iPhone

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:

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.

                                                     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.

Samsung To File Injunction To Block Iphone 4S Sales In Australia & Japan

Last week Apple emerged Victorious of the latest Apple Vs Samsung Saga when the Sydney Court ruled the Apple vs Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Injunction suite in favor of Apple,thereby sealing the fate of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the Australian Market.Not only has Apple stalled Samsung's Galaxy tab 10.1 from hitting the Australian Shelves by atleast a month,by the time it hits the market it would be a dead product much to the dismay of Samsung.
                       To Rub salt into the already wounded Samsung,a Dutch court has thwarted the Injunction filed by Samsung to Block the sale of Apple's iPhone 4S merchandise in Netherlands.Now Samsung is all prepped to Yank Apple's iPhone sale once again this time in Apple's own Turf Australia & Japan.Building the case on the basis of Patent violations which primarily included the UI,Wireless telecom patents.In a statement released by Samsung's spokesperson:

“We are now counterattacking Apple again” a Samsung spokesperson confirmed today. In a statement released by the company, it alleged that “Apple has continued to violate our patent rights and free ride on our technology” insisting that “we will no longer stand idly by and will steadfastly protect our intellectual property,"

Now that Samsung's Galaxy tab 10.1 will appear in the Australian market no sooner than  2012 & then loosing the Dutch case to Apple,things aren't looking good for Samsung as of now.With the verdict for yet another Injunction filed by Samsung against Apple for the same patent infringement looking to block the sale of Apple merchandise in France & Italy,things are going from bad to worse.With the Samsung & Google's Event around the corner,we are expecting things to Ameliorate when the latest Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be unveiled in Hong Kong on October 19th along with Google's Ice Cream Sandwich.
