Seems like "analysts" and online "journalists" will report any irrelevant and unconfirmed ******** in iPhone-season just to make a quick buck.

Can't blame them if people click on links and give hits. It's a reason why Brian Windhorst is still employed.
 
Cool beans. Now will they stop fracturing other supply lines? Like everyone pays the same for getting an Intel device with only GSM bands? So you either have to shell out up front for unlocked if you've got AT&T/T-Mobile. If you go through the Apple upgrade program, don't tell them you've got AT&T or T-Mobile.

After all this, I was glad it was a TSMC chip until I found out I had been used as guinea pig again with inferior Intel.

Short answer. No one can deliver those chips with the required volume and quality other than TSMC or Samsung.
