You're also forgetting the rumors / announcement? for Broadcom regarding GPS chip. Now I feel chalenged by the notion that any iPhone will have an array of chips when NVIDIA and Broadcom offer ASICs, system on a chip with all functions integrated including mobile TV, GPS, FM Radio, app processor, 3.5G/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth radio etc etc etc. All in a super low power chip!
I think you're sticking with Infineon because you're stubborn, that's all :)
A company of the class of Apple never depends on suppliers, it seeks independence of them and to make them its slaves if possible :)
Why would Apple stick with Infineon when they were late to the low power 3G chip market? In December/January (am I wrong?) Steve was talking about 3G being power hungry and in Feb 11 both Broadcom and NVIDIA were showing off prototypes of their wares at the Barcelona Mobile World Conference. I'd be furious if I was Stevie, here I am with no 3G iPhone, people clamoring for it, my stock is down to half its price, and these dudes are showing off prototypes like the APX2500 that is an amazing piece of the future that makes you wonder about the iPhone?!
