All the nasty back and forth between Apple and Samsung — this was probably bound to be the result. After a long run of providing processors to Apple for the iPhone, Samsung has been replaced. Further teardown results show that Apple has a new manufacturing partner for the A8.

After the iFixit teardown ended, Chipworks went to work on their own project: finding out who makes the various components for the iPhone 6. Their post is an interesting read, but highlights that Samsung didn’t make the A8 processor. Apple’s new partner is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).
