This move isn’t all too surprising given that Apple has been reported to be looking to reduce their reliance on Samsung for components, given that both companies have been embroiled in a legal battle for the past few years. However rather interestingly the report claims that Samsung will be playing a hand in the launch of the fabrication facility, and will be lending Apple and GlobalFoundries their knowledge and experience when it comes to making chips, especially given that Samsung has been making Apple’s A-series of chips for a while now. Naturally Apple has yet to confirm this piece of news yet, so take it with a grain of salt for now.
