Apple will use its knowledge to develop its own SoC (System One Chip) where the maximum of functions for a given device is integrated onto a single chip, and then use them in its iPhone and iPod.
If the idea appears absurd at first glance, it is not really:
- Semi Pa has deep knowledge of this field recognized primarily by the army.
- While developing its own chips, Apple will be able to set up new functions that will be difficult to copy by competition.
- It will be easier to them to set up high level protections.
- They will have a more advanced control over their devices in the future from conception onwards according to their design needs and software functions.
