Am I the only one that thinks its a good thing that we have a system in which this kind of a situation is possible? That they can host their entire infrastructure on their competitors product shows a level of trust on both sides that I find remarkable, and something we should definitely have more of.

Apple buys screens and has some of their chips fabbed by Samsung.

It is remarkable, but not uncommon.

In fact all of their mobile CPUs except A8/A8X and A9X are fabricated by Samsung [1]. Lately they are also increasingly using Taiwan Semiconductor.

They don't announce it the same way however. Or at least I've never seen Samsung mentioned by name anywhere on apple.com.
