The reason for the similarity in their chips was that Intrinsity did most of the custom design for Samsung's chip, Apple also worked with Intrisity and subsequently acquired them.

And the rest of the chip is similar because it's built from a Samsung reference design with a few bits left out that Apple didn't want. It's like saying "hold the mustard" makes you a master hot-dog crafstman.
