Though in the recent years the relation between the two smartphone producing company Samsung and Apple were not so good, but it is almost assured that the new A7 processor which is used in iPhone 5s is produced by Samsung. Though the tech analysts assumed that the bad relation between the two companies for patent issue will also affect their internal business, but it seems that they are still doing their business and old projects in full swing. It was also spread out that the processor contract will be shifted to one Taiwan based company TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) but it was not happened like that.
As the reverse engineering of the iPhone 5S processor has already started, it is been found that the processor is produced by Samsung.
