Gus Richard, analyst, reported that Apple is looking to replace Samsung-produced chips with another manufacturer. While it isn't known if this is the direct result of the many legal battles between the two. He says that Apple is talking to TSMC about chips using the 20nm manufacturing process.
A chip industry source confirms the analyst's story, saying that the relationship between Apple and Korean based Samsung has deteriorated to the point where both sides are just looking to fulfill current contracts in force and then breaking up. Yet another Asian source says that Apple will be turning to TSMC for its quad-core chips.
