Bloomberg: ‘Samsung Said to Win Apple A9 Chip Orders for Next IPhone’

Jungah Lee and Ian King, reporting for Bloomberg:

Samsung Electronics Co. will manufacture the main chip in Apple Inc.’s next iPhone model, regaining a customer previously lost to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., people with direct knowledge of the matter said. Samsung will start making Apple A9 processor chips at its Giheung plant in South Korea, the people said, asking not to be identified because the contract hasn’t been discussed publicly.

The industry’s strangest arch-rivalry/partnership continues.
