Apple likely switching to different modem for 'iPhone 7,' Qualcomm CEO hints
If Apple can include the Intel designed modem as part of the SOC built on TSMC's process with the use of InFO, it will be a nice advancement. However, if all Intel offers is discrete modem, it is really not much of a win for Intel or a loss for Qualcomm.
Both TSMC and Samsung are now better fabs than Intel. Once they move to 10 nm with Qualcomm's superior designs, Apple will be forced to drop Intel.
Perhaps Intel is willing to license the modem architecture to Apple who can then design them as part of the A and S series of CPUs.
Major win for Apple, but does very little for Intel's bottom line. But Intel really doesn't have much of a choice.

Rumor: Samsung trying to earn new iPhone supply chain slot with EMI-shielded NAND
Well, it's not as if Samsung is the only involved in patent infringement. Microsoft stole the Mac GUI in creating Windows. They stole QuickTime, literally installing Apple's very code as their own. Google stole the iOS interface and the tentire smartphone hardware market has stolen the iPhone design. LG's G4 is no better. Google's Motorola, Xiaomi, Huawei, HTC and a number of others use the same design. Does anyone even remember the very first Android phone? I do and it wasn't a Samsung. It was a Motorola. In fact, Samsung did Apple a favor by building hardware superior to Motorola that Google had to get out of the hardware business and take a huge write off from the Motorola purchase.
It's Google's Eric Schmidt that sat on Apple's board who stole iOS. They also stole Java from Oracle.
And Google's back at it again trying to appropriate Swift into Android.
Apple continues to do business with Google also. Hopefully Google is losing money as a cloud provider for Apple.
As far as memory is concerned, if Samsung can provide a superior technology at lower cost, Apple should adopt it. It's not like iPhone and Apple Watch CPUs are not being made by Samsung.

Apple denied Chinese government requests for source code twice in last 2 years
Have you been to China? They are as totalitarian as the US is.matrix077 said:
Just because USA is bad doesn't mean China can only be, at worst, as bad. It can be, and is worse than USA. It's a totalitarian state after all.rob53 said:I don't understand why so many people hate and don't trust China. The vast majority of people have no idea how China operates, they only are given news from a ton of unreliable sources and believe it. We continue to buy products manufactured in China while bashing them. The worst part is the US government hasn't been any better than the Chinese government for a long time. I'm not complaining about Obama, I'm complaining about the DHS, FBI, CIA, NSA and all the other three-letter agencies we don't know about. In other words, the US (and almost every country in the world) is no better than China. China could be changing. They might not fear anything going on from inside the country so they're concentrating their spying efforts on other countries, which is what we do in return. The USA is not an angel, it's far from it. China has become a capitalistic country, just like the US. We need to honor them as a country and quit complaining about them when we don't know what's really going on. I can complain about the US because I'm seeing firsthand how corrupt the entire government is all the way down to local police departments. I live in the Pacific Northwest and Seattle's police department is as bad as Los Angeles' was (and continues to be).
China will never bar Apple from its country because they're not stupid, like certain politicians running for office this year, and they need Apple's money. As for IP theft, that happens all over the world and our own judicial system can't protect Apple's IP from theft. Don't blame the Chinese on this one.
Now go and read up on the history of the United States. About the land grabs from the native peoples and the biological warfare promoted against them. Go and read up about slavery and how it caused a nation to go to war against itself exposing the extreme prejudice of BOTH sides, not just the Confederacy. The Union states only calculated a black person as 3/5's of a white person for population purposes.
Was slavery ever codified in China the way it was in the US? Was genocide practices the same way?
China is a competitor, but their government is no more evil than what exists in the US.
They never invaded another country on the false pretext of weapons of mass destruction leaving a political mess and sowing the seeds for the development of one of the most extreme movements of our time.
Eisenhower warned us to beware of the military industrial complex. We didn't heed those warnings. The Chinese government controls their military manufacturing. The opposite is true of the US. So from my vantage point, the US is worse than China. And it isn't even close. -
Apple chip supplier TSMC says 7nm tech entering mass production in first half of 2018
Perhaps TSMC won't have the capacity to meet iPhone demand for the 7 nm chip, but Apple could stimulate healthy demand for the Watch by building a 7 nm S series CPU with InFO. Such a chip would allow for power savings and performance unheard of in a diminutive chip.
I would definitely purchase such a device.

Apple launches new 12" MacBooks with Intel Skylake CPUs, rose gold color & longer battery life
Yawn. Apple will be coming out with the A10/A10X CPU in less than 6 months. Those CPUs will offer better overall performance including much better GPU performance and far better battery life.
The iPad Pro also has better sound, and better software offerings.
Not interested in the MacBook and frankly, I have virtually no interest in any of Apple's computers with Intel CPUs. In another generation, Apple's CPUs are going to seriously outperform anything Intel has for a portable form factor. And Apple's mobile machines will come with better cameras, OLED panels, etc.
