Samsung denies price hike for Apple mobile processors

Blair McClelland November 15, 2012 Apple, Mobile

Earlier in the week we reported that Samsung is now charging nearly 20 percent more for the production of Apple's mobile processors. This includes those found in the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. However, this report may have been unfounded.

The Hankyoreh, a Korean newspaper has been informed by an anonymous Samsung official that prices are agreed upon at the start of each year and “aren't easily changed.” It has also been revealed that Apple and Samsung currently have a supply agreement through to 2014 and that unless “special cost factors” occurred then pricing has stayed much the same in the past.

KitGuru says: At least Apple will still maintain their ever-high profit margins.

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
