iPhone 6 and Samsung: Not Much in Common
[CNet]
What do the iPhone 6 and Samsung have in common? Not much, according to a report.
Samsung will not be making processors for Apple’s iPhone 6, so says the Korea Economic Daily in a report dated Wednesday.
To counter the “damage caused” by “Apple shunning Samsung” for the iPhone 6 processor, the Korean company is developing a processor with an integrated 3G/4G modem for low-cost phones to compete with Qualcomm and MediaTek, the report said.
Qualcomm is a leading supplier of processors with modems built directly onto the same slice of silicon as the processor.
