Re: A6 probably, not A5X or A6X
No, I stand corrected. Based on a component costing over at Tech Insights, the key physical components in an iPhone 5 are:
• the A6 processor; probably fabricated by TSMC or Samsung;
• RAM from Elpida;
• antenna switch and wifi/bluetooth wireless chips from Murata (incorporating a Broadcom component);
• a Triquint power amplifier;
• an Avago chip for LTE/UMTS/CDMA;
• four separate parts from Skyworks for power amplification;
• a Dialog Semiconductor power manager;
• a Cirrus Logic audio codec;
• accelerometer and gyroscope from STMicroelectronics;
• further Broadcom components for the touchpad controller;
• Qualcomm chips for further LTE stuff, DC-HSPA+, EV-DO, GSM, CDMA, etc and power management thereof;
• a Texas Instruments touchscreen controller;
• SanDisk flash; and
• an RF Micro Devices antenna.
How many of those companies are suing Apple or is Apple suing?
