When Apple tried to reduce their dependance on Samsung, it seemed that the business relations between them won't improve, but looks like there's still hope left. According to report from Business Korea, Apple will increase the use of Samsung made components in its smartphones and smartwatches. The report suggests that the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus will use batteries and NAND flash memory made by Samsung subsidiaries. Apparently, Apple wanted to use Samsung's NAND flash memory in the iPhone 6 but the two companies failed to settle on an agreeable pricing. Later, Apple was decided to use Toshiba's TLC NAND chips. However, 64GB and 128GB storage chips from Toshiba turned out to be faulty in some cases. Apple might strike a deal with Samsung for using its NAND and DRAM chips, which will be used in the future iPhone 6 units. In addition, some sources are hinting that both these companies might be co-developing radio chips for the next-generation iPhones.
The report also states that Samsung might produce application processors for the upcoming Apple Watch, which is set to be launched in early 2015 in competition with Samsung's Gear line-up of smartwatches. After the decline in profits from their smartphones business, Samsung has been investing heavily in component manufacturing plants. Samsung is said to produce 80 percent of mobile processing chipsets used to Apple devices from 2016, which might improve the Korean giant's profits.
