Intel To Build Next Gen Processor For iOS Devices

    Not so much that Samsung is competing, but that Samsung is blatantly copying Apple.

    Meanwhile MS has just started chasing ARM.

    And by "just started" you mean they've had versions of Windows on ARM for going on near 15 years?

    They copied the idea that anyone with a remotely similar (read: competitive) product must have "copied" or "stolen" all their ideas from them, from Microsoft. Microsoft really ought to file a copycopyright suit.

    Seriously, though; I own a Samsung device that is allegedly "copied" from the iPhone. Trust me, if it were ANYTHING like an iPhone, I would NOT own it.

    Who ever posted the story left out the "?" from the original submitter which changes the entire context of the article. The article itself is a speculation based on what Intel is rumored to want to do. There is not a confirmation that they are going to fab Apple's iOS chips.
