Some things depend on each other even when they don’t like each other. Samsung and Apple are fierce competitors. We all know that but Apple needs Samsung. Truth be told the two companies are dependent on each other. When running a business you have to do somethings that you may not agree with. Apple must do what is good for the company. That said, Samsung is going to create key parts of the Apple Watch just like it does for other Apple mobile devices. We are all expecting the Apple Watch to be released in March.
According to DigitTimes:
The processor built by Samsung will be inside Apple’s S1 system-in-package (SiP), which also consists of mobile DRAM, NAND flash and other peripheral chips. Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE) is reportedly the provider of SiP modules for the Apple Watch.
Samsung will build the processor inside the Apple Watch. It will be using its 28nm process technology. While Samsung secured the processor Apple Watch this time, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is making a case to Apple to be the chip maker for the 2nd gen Apple Watch.
