Must be a term in the contract to allow Samsung to do so. My guess: likely that Apple is ending the contract early, and the term is the way for Samsung to cover its investment in the chip plant.
- 2muchcoffeeman 14y agoHasn't Apple been pumping huge amounts of money to allow their manufacturers to make these plants though? Surely the investment is from both sides? I'm trying to angle for a reason why they would go ahead an trigger a clause when they easily have enough money to do whatever. Aside: I am always surprised with the other comments. Do people really think there aren't a bunch of terms on a multi-billion dollar contract limiting what you can do?
- cube13 14y agoIt might just be Apple invoking an early out clause. I think that's more likely, considering all the rumors that Apple is planning on opening their own chip fabs.
