The rivalry between Samsung and Apple has been manifest over time. So frequent, that the two technology giants have seen each other’s faces in court on countless occasions. The cases for patents have opened, several times. Even so, and despite that, Samsung has not stopped occupying a leading role in the manufacture of the famous iPhone.
In fact, the Korean company, which at the same time owns the Galaxy series, regularly provides different components, both to Apple and to other manufacturers. Now it seems that for the manufacture of the next iPhone, both companies will unite on the same front.
And if the rumors don’t lead us down the wrong path, it appears that Samsung and Apple are about to reach an agreement to sign the contract for a key piece of supply. Thus, it is very likely that the next iPhone 12 will end up wearing, for the first time in its history, a Samsung lens in its camera system.
Apple is about to test Samsung lenses
The Cupertino company will begin testing Samsung lenses shortly. We are talking about 6P lenses, which could not only be installed on the new iPhone 12, but could be integrated into many other future products. Especially if Apple ends up convinced that Samsung’s technology is the best, it may choose for its products. And it wouldn’t be the first time.
If the agreement takes effect and Apple ends up saying yes to Samsung, the first lenses will be provided by the Korean from the end of the year. In fact, it seems that Apple does not have so many doubts regarding the quality of the material provided by Samsung, but rather the ability to adapt it to its most immediate needs. That is, they can be integrated within the terms that the firm needs to take the devices to the commercial network.
How many components of iPhone are made by Samsung?
The answer is not a few, only. The thing is that the components that Samsung provides to Apple to manufacture its devices are the most important that a phone can have. OLED screens, for example. We all know that the Korean firm is the best at making OLED displays. And so Apple recognized it, opting for the technology of its strongest rival for the iPhone X, one of the great phones of the house.
But this is not the only Samsung component that we can find hidden in an iPhone, no. Samsung has also been taking responsibility for the manufacture of the flash memory chips for the Apple device and the truth is that it is very profitable. For every iPhone that is sold, Samsung earns about $100.
And although Apple has taken over the design of its own processors (with all the complexity that this entails), then Samsung was in charge of manufacturing the. In fact, in semiconductor manufacturing Samsung is one of the world’s leading companies. Because it does not only make them for mobile phones or tablets. It also does it for computers, televisions, photo and video cameras and even white goods.
In addition, and despite the quarrels, Samsung has been for all these years Apple’s favorite manufacturer. For many years, it has opted for this firm to manufacture the processors and only once tried TSMC, another giant of competition. The result? The collaboration lasted a year. In the next generation of iPhone, Apple returned to the mother Samsung to continue counting on its processors.
