Softbank to acquire Apple chip designing partner ARM for $32 billion
1983 said:Wow, this is a big deal and very surprising. Up until this announcement I'd never heard of 'Softbank' before. I'll have to look them up to see how they can afford this considerable outlay.

Rumor: TSMC to be exclusive manufacturer of both Apple's 'A10' & 'A11' chips
stantheman said:Samsung will be producing 10 nm processors for its own devices and for those of customers, but without Apple orders Samsung's unit cost may be considerably higher than before. It makes a big difference whether startup and overhead costs are divided among only 300 million units annually, let's say, versus 500 million. If Samsung raises processor prices to cover the difference, then some smartphone companies will turn to other suppliers -- which would only make the situation worse for Samsung (i.e., reduced volume, higher unit fixed costs). But if Samsung doesn't increase prices, its profits will suffer.
By the way, AI always states "Apple has gradually tried to reduce its dependence on Samsung". Has anyone at Apple actually announced that to be the case officially, or is it just someone's wishful thinking being passed off as fact?

Editorial: Sorry Android bloggers, but Samsung's Galaxy S7 didn't outsell Apple's iPhone 6s
DED doesn't need to workout in a gym if he keeps up with such desperate bailing efforts. The quality of his 'sources' for 'supporting' evidence are dire - twitter? - and as for his logic? The S7 went on sale in March, so DED quotes an IDC report from APRIL alleging an annual 0.6% decline in overall sales for the preceding year. So in support of an article alleging the S7 didn't outsell the 6S, he uses as 'evidence' a report that clearly didn't include a single S7 sale. Brilliant!
In criticising The Verge for it's story about S7 sales in 2016, he says: "The Verge report also ignored the rest of Kantar's data. That includes figures for China, "the world's largest smartphone market," which showed that Samsung has seen its once-leading share in urban markets collapse from 34 percent back in 2014Exactly how are supposed Samsung sales in 2014 relevant to an argument about S7 sales in the US in 2016?
The content of the article doesn't even get close to supporting it's title. It smacks of war time propaganda. DED is Apple's Lord Haw Haw.
