Wouldn't it make more sense to provide x86 SoC's to Android Phone makers like Samsung and friends, so they could market their undoubted hardware advantage over Apple?

Mas,

I mean Apple using Intel as a foundry like TSMC.

So far, Intel has resisted the urge to become a foundry for Apple. Like I said before, Intel wants to sell chips to Apple, not make chips for Apple.

What needs to happen to make Intel change its mind? (No need to tell me whether Intel *should* change its mind or not. Just what needs to happen in order for the decision to become a no-brainer, if it isn't already.)
