UMikhal Marek I-Samsung ingumnikezeli obaluleke kakhulu wezingxenye zawo wonke amadivayisi we-iOS avela kwa-Apple. Yize lezi ziqhwaga ezimbili zobuchwepheshe zingenabo ncamashi ubudlelwano obungathandeki, ibhizinisi liyibhizinisi, futhi i-Apple inezinsiza ezanele zokuphoqa noma yimuphi umenzi. Ama-Ax processors ayingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu yama-iPhones, ama-iPads kanye ne-iPod touch, futhi kukule ndawo lapho ukuncika kwe-Apple enkampanini yaseKorea kuchazwa kakhulu.
Ubudlelwano phakathi kwalezi zinkampani ezimbili nezivumelwano phakathi kwazo buyashintsha ngezindlela ezihlukahlukene ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, futhi leli qiniso libuye liboniswe yisitatimende sesikhulu sakwaSamsung esingadalulwanga esitholwe yiKorea Times. Ngokusho kwalo mthombo, isivumelwano phakathi kwe-Apple ne-Samsung sesivele sikhawulelwe kuma-processor we-A6 kuphela. "Isivumelwano se-Samsung ne-Apple silinganiselwe kuphela ekukhiqizeni ama-A6 processors. I-Apple iklama yonke into iyodwa, sisebenza nje njengabasunguli futhi sikhiqize ama-chips,” kusho umthombo ongashayi eceleni.
AbakwaSamsung kuthiwa njengamanje banezinhlobo ezintathu ezahlukene zamakhasimende kule ndawo. Uhlobo lokuqala lushiya ukuthuthukiswa nokukhiqizwa kwe-chip ngokuphelele ngaphansi kokuqondisa kwe-Samsung. Uhlobo lwesibili lwekhasimende lunomklamo walo wobuchwepheshe be-chip, futhi inkampani yaseKorea inomsebenzi wokuklama nokukhiqiza kuphela. Uhlobo lokugcina i-Apple kanye neprosesa yayo ye-A6.
Kulandela esitatimendeni sesikhulu sakwaSamsung ukuthi inkampani yaseKorea yayibambe iqhaza ngqo ekuthuthukisweni kwama-chips e-A4 ne-A5. Ngeprosesa ye-A6, yehlukile okokuqala ngqa, futhi i-Apple ngokusobala ithembele kubuchwepheshe bayo kulo mkhakha wezobuchwepheshe. Muva nje, inkampani ezungeze uTim Cook ibizama ngangokunokwenzeka ukususa ukuncika osizweni lwanoma yiziphi ezinye izinkampani, futhi ukuhlukana ne-Samsung ngokuqinisekile kungenye yezinto eziza kuqala eCupertino.
Ekuqaleni kukaJuni 2011, kwaba namahemuhemu okuthi i-Apple izokhipha ukukhiqizwa kwama-chips e-A6 ku-Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. Nokho, la mahemuhemu awazange abe yiqiniso. Akukacaci okwamanje ukuthi ngubani ozokhiqiza amaphrosesa azayo anegama okungenzeka ukuthi li-A7. Kodwa-ke, cishe ngeke kumangaze noma ngubani uma i-Samsung ingeyona ekhethiwe.
Uma i-Apple ishiya ngempela i-Samsung njengomphakeli wayo wasemuva, izoba nomthelela omkhulu enkampanini yaseNingizimu Korea. I-Apple ikhiqiza cishe amaphesenti angu-9 enzuzo ephelele ye-Samsung, okungelona inani elincane. Kodwa-ke, i-Apple ayikwazi ukunqamula ngokuphelele ukuxhumana ne-Samsung okwamanje, ngokusho komthombo we-Korean Times. "I-Apple isongela ukukhula okusheshayo kwe-Samsung, ngakho-ke ayifaki kumaphrojekthi ayo amakhulu. Kodwa akakwazi ukumehlukanisa ngokuphelele ohlwini lwabangane bakhe. "
