Samsung chips for next iPhone by Apple Inc.

Despite of the patent war, business strategy is on.
Samsung still, would be the manufacturer of Apple-designed quad-core A6 chips in the manufacturing plant of Austin, Texas. The plant opened in 2007.

Samsung is best among manufacturers and Apple is best among customers. Both of the companies know this and this results in one of the best lessons for ordinary businesses.

One of the executives from Apple parts supplier reported,

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, 

The executive further reported,

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,

However, Apple and Samsung officials are silent on this point.
