You need to se it like this: iPhoneApple is selling off it's charger operations to someone else (it is important that they are different shareholders). Once the companies are split up, iPhoneApple won't want chargerapple to have an exclusive contract, since their phones are worth more if chargers are cheaper.

At this point, iPhoneApple will realize what every other smartphone maker in the industry realizes: Selling exclusive charger contracts is not worth it.
