    Nice try.



    You WERE trying, weren't you?



    What part of 'rumor' don't you understand?

    Apple has long term contracts with Samsung that have not concluded yet. Of course Apple is going to continue to use the capability they paid big $$ for up front when those contracts were set up.



    Apple has also been quietly testing other suppliers such as TSMC who is also reported to be delivering pre-production A6 chips.



    If anything that would indicate a move away from Samsung who up till now has been the sole supplier. And the latest conversations likely go along the line of ~~get your sister division to clean up its act, or we will reduce your division's business over the long term as the current guaranteed production contracts close out~~.
