Too bad, they were so dependent on Apple. Bitter statements.
Apple can make one without using their patents but the first GEN might not perform as good as their current tech. Apple can also seek licenses from other GPU makers.

The machines that make AMOLED screens are Japanese and the chemical pigments for those screens are supplied by Japanese and American companies.
IT had a good innings, but soon they will lose their biggest customer. Such is business.

Note7 owner, 05 May 2017Why did you put all your eggs in Apple's basket?. Diversify man and stop depending on apple. ... moreBefore, they had a deal with Texas Instruments. But when they stopped producing SoCs, they lost that. Qualcomm already had their own Adreno GPU and Samsung went for ARM's Mali GPUs.

2: No, it's the other way around. S7 Edge was released in March 2016. The Huawei copy was released this January.
3: ARM based but still custom cores.
4: As I said, they also use components from others when they can't fulfill their own needs.

Of course, the soc is based on ARM so I don't mind about the custom soc. The battery may not come only from Samsung but other manufacturers as well, because Samsung may not make not enough.

maybe its a plan for apple to let imagination tech go bankrupt within 2 years by boldly declaring that they will no longer support them and pretending to develop their own gpu. then after declaring bankruptcy, apple can acquire their patent for a cheap price. its a win win for apple
Anonymous , 04 May 2017I know that Samsung is the same as apple, too. They can't make anything without the suppliers.Oh no... Samsung had far more patents than Apple... One of most patents any company has.. It R&D spending have be on the top for years..
