Although recently Apple and Samsung are the most frequent opponents in patent lawsuits, the Korean company is still one of the most important partners in the production of iOS devices. As it seems, in addition to other components, ARM still produces processors for the iPhone and iPad. The Apple A6, which beats in the latest iPhone 5, was looked at in detail by technicians from iFixit and besides three graphics cores they also discovered that it is still manufactured by Samsung. However, the specific piece examined was, paradoxically, from another supplier, Elpida.

Samsung apparently continues to manufacture the A6 processors at its factory in Texas, which it recently invested four billion in and where the previous A5 and A5X processors were manufactured. However, Apple is still looking for another chip manufacturer to become as independent as possible from Samsung, after all, the two companies are not exactly in love.
