Samsung sees the writing on the wall: Apple is going to ditch them in the next few years and start building chips themselves. Since the bridge is already burnt, why not make some extra money off them in the meantime?
- erikpukinskis 14y agoApple has only invested in chip design capabilities, not manufacturing. I haven't seen any indication that they're interested in fabricating their own chips. It's a fully mature commodity market, why would they?
