After the "chipgate" event of the iPhone 6s - in which Samsung-manufactured A9 processors were rumored to perform worse than those built by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company - a new report suggests that Apple may give its South Korean frenemy the boot, and award 100 percent of its iPhone 7 A10 chip orders to TSMC. The report comes courtesy of HSBC bank, which has raised its opinion on TSMC stock from Neutral to Buy - claiming that the company will regain 100 percent market share of Apple's A10 production in 2016.
