Apple allegedly designates Samsung to makes processors for iPhones and iPads in 2016

According to sources speaking to The Korea Times, despite being at each other throats in various courtrooms around the world, Apple has designated Samsung to continue to make 80% of processors for iPhones and iPads in 2016. TSMC will manufacture the remaining 20%. The source said, Apple has designated Samsung as the primary supplier of its next A-series chips powering iOS devices from 2016 as the alliance with GlobalFoundries (GF) enabled Samsung to cut off capacity risk. The source added that the deal is worth billions of dollars. The APs production will allegedly start next year at Samsung s factory in Giheung, Gyeonggi Province, China, with volume growing once the Korean tech giant uses its factories in Austin, Texas and the GF s factory in New York. Of course, since the report is yet to be confirmed by Apple or Samsung, take this with a pinch of salt. Keep it here at Phones LTD for further updates.

Photo allegedly showing Samsung Galaxy Note 4 box leaked

We know that Samsung will be lifting the lid on the Galaxy Note 4 on its Unpacked 2014 Episode 2 event at IFA 2014 in Berlin, Germany. We ve also come across reports leaking the phablet s specs. Now, a photo of  the box of the device has been leaked, dropping hints on what to expect. The photo comes from PhoneArena s anonymous leakster. So what does the box tell us? For one thing, it doesn t look like the boxes of the Note 3 or S4. The Note 4 s box has a metallic finish, suggesting the same metallic finish for the upcoming phablet. Or, it could simply mean that the Samsung has redesigned the box. Another point of interest is the wallpaper of the Note 4 s photo on the box. It shows the date September 15th.
