Futhi sikhuluma ngezinto ezihlukile ezizoba yingxenye ye-iPhone elandelayo. Izolo sishicilele imininingwane echaza ukuthi iSamsung Display izokuba ngumuntu ophambili ophethe ukuhlinzeka inkampani eseCupertino izikrini ze-OLED ezilandelayo ezizongena emakethe kanye ne-iPhone 8, ngoba okwamanje akulindelekile ukuthi zizofakwa ku-iPhone kuze kube unyaka ozayo.
Kepha abakwaSamsung kungenzeka bangabi bodwa, kunalokho I-Apple kuzodingeka ithembele kuFoxconn (ngefektri oyithenge kwaSharp ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule) futhi mhlawumbe ne-LG. Kuyacaca ukuthi ukuncika kwi-Samsung kuyaqhubeka nokuba khona futhi kuzoba ngokuzayo.
Njengoba sifundile ku-DigiTimes, ekugcineni kubonakala sengathi umkhiqizi we-TSMC uzophatha ukukhiqiza wonke amachips we-iPhone 7 elandelayo, i-A10, ukuze inkampani yakwaSamsung ishiywe ngaphandle kwayo yonke le nqubo. Kumele kukhunjulwe ukuthi ngonyaka odlule, i-Apple yasebenzisa zombili izinkampani ukwenza i-chip ye-A9. Kungaleso sikhathi lapho impikiswano ngokusetshenziswa okuphezulu kwe-chip eyenziwe yi-Samsung yeqa, impikiswano eyayisebenza ukubhala izihloko, ngoba abafana be-Apple baqinisekisa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwakucishe kufane, umehluko wawungelinganiselwa ku-2%.
Uma inkampani inenkinga yokukhiqiza i-chip, ukubambezeleka kuzoqala ukwenzeka ekulethweni kwamatheminali, okuzonciphisa ukuthengiswa esikhathini esisele sonyaka. Kumele kukhunjulwe ukuthi bekungezukuba okokuqala kwenzeka into efanayo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uma uthatha isinqumo sokuthembela kubakhiqizi ababili, i-Samsung ne-TSMC, izinkinga zokukhiqiza ezingenzeka omunye wabo angacatshangelwa omunye ukuze ekugcineni ulayini wokukhiqiza ongaboni kahle ukuthi ungabona ushintshiwe futhi kuzoba nesitoko esanele ukubhekela izidingo zabasebenzisi.
