12:09 AAPL Apple: Samsung claims primary seat in Apple iPhone - AppleInsider (86.80 +1.10) -Update-

AppleInsider reports Samsung Electronics has added iPhone to a rapidly expanding list of consumer electronics devices from Apple for which it supplies the primary SoC.

People familiar with the new Apple handset say the Korean electronics giant will cater to Apple's request for a unified central processing unit, which will serve a dual role in handling the device's application processing and digital media capabilities.

Meanwhile, those same people say wireless IC maker Infineon (IFX) has also captured a significant piece of iPhone, asserting itself as the primary supplier of both baseband and RF chips. Specific chip models were not identified.
