Hey guys,
I know that the whole Samsung/TSMC discussion that we had when the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus were released is not relevant anymore. I think, however, that it would be nice to know who manufactures A9 chips for the new iPad 5th gen. iFixit's teardown has revealed a Samsung chip (APL0898 found in models N71AP and N66AP)) in their unit. (https://nl.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPad+5+Teardown/85098) Could that mean that TSMC does not produce them anymore?
It would be great if some of you could check this. Download from AppStore a handy free app called "AX-CPU – System + Processor Profiler" for identifying your chip and you will know it immediately.

It's not like it's a big deal which chip you have, but I think it would be interesting to know...
