“According to the Korea Times, which cites an anonymous industry executive, Apple will indeed discontinue its tradition of using Samsung-designed processors with its next iPhone,” Kelly Hodgkins reports for The Boy Genius Report (BGR).
“In its place, the phone will run a modified version of Apple’s A4 processor which just so happens to be proficient in handling 720p playback,” Hodgkins reports.
“It’s not a complete loss for Samsung considering it’s expected the electronics giant will be entrusted with manufacturing the chip, but no doubt Apple’s decision to keep mobile processor design in-house will effect Samsung’s bottom line,” Hodgkins reports.

I am so interested to see what Apple unleashes upon us with this updated iPhone.
This sounds fun. I just love rumors. Can’t wait to see!
Well didn’t someone on Gizmodo already take one apart..? I mean that just has to be real, right……?
Well d’uh. It’s not a rumour? It’s a natural progression.
KoreaTimes is not the most reliable, as they also reported back in January, that the iPhone 4G was coming in April. Unless they meant a lost/stolen prototype, they’re wrong.
Did a bloody retard write this article? It’s “affect” NOT “effect.” JESUS!

“Well d’uh. It’s not a rumour?”
You got that right.

“Did a bloody retard write this article?”
Yes.
This article, like so many on the ‘net, is a waste of bytes, meant only to drive hits.

Not in American, my friend, not in American. How there language is screwed up is do to there outstanding schooling which effects there use of language.
First the mobile OS. Then the whole line. Give it another year or two and all the chips in all Apple’s products will be of their own design. And they’ll handle the Windows-on-a-Mac issue, too.

There, there. Someone must have missed their third grade English classes.
Are you a moron or an idiot?
@SP. I hope his comment was sarcasm on homophones in English usages. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />

How their… to their outstanding … effects their use.
Not a product of outstanding schooling yourself then?

I would assume keepy was being sarcastic.
I are a college graduate.
Looooool
@spyinthesky: Thank you; you noticed. The comment was directed @ A flock of budgies who seemed to be incensed by a misapplication of a word in the story. I merely pointed out some other examples of spelling atrocities that are far too common these days:
there=their
do=due
and so on…..
KeepHopeAlive:
there=their?!
The only misapplication here is audacity
I heard they going to use the C3PO chip. Just saying.
The Gizmodo photos apparently are real, but since the phone was lost and sold over month ago, Its possible that the final incarnation will be somewhat different.
The photos don’t show any A4…
Dear Grammar OCDer’s:
Find a girlfriend. That is all.
I don´t believe that Samsung as a competitor in chip design and smartphone business will manufacture Apples top secret weapon because this would offer them early insider information about the future iphone plans.
The most likely manufacturing company for the A4 family is Global foundries, because they don´ t compete in smartphone business, they have enough free production capacity for 40nm, they have already licensed ARM next generation 28 nm node for future designs and Apple hired some of AMDs ex manager for their chip devision.
Get an education, will get you a better class of girlfriend. That is all.
“Dear Grammar OCDer’s:

There should not be an apostrophe in “OCDer’s [sic].” You should have used a comma instead of a colon. The “f” in “Find [sic]” should hence be lowercase. I will overlook your inappropriate use of the acronym for obsessive compulsive disorder, because I’m in a good mood (or perhaps it’s because I’m feeling lazy).

Sir or madam, you possess much win.
Keep, surely you can do better!
there / their / they’re
do / due / dew
fore / four / for
I / eye / aye
… and I’m sure there are more dupes and trips.
Surprise! Lots of posters are not from the US! For some posters in the US, English is not their first language. And, even for some here, it is the school system that should be questioned for turning out those who can’t handle the language correctly. Then there is that other little issue of TYPOS [are there any here?] and not being able to edit our postings. Sometimes the blind can dictate a posting which they are unable to proofread.That leaves a much smaller group whose fault it is that they can’t speak or write correctly. Back off and see the forest for the trees here.
Now, say you’re sorry…
