Based on Apple's past releases, the iPhone 7 with an A9 application processor could be in store shelves in September 2015. The all-screen iPhone 7 will eliminate bezels and provide a larger display.

According to reports, Samsung will be the biggest application processor supplier in early 2016 and this will power the future Apple iPhone and iPad models.

Reports also claim Apple designated Samsung as its primary supplier of the next A-series chips that will power iOS devices starting 2016. With 80 percent of Apple's AP requirements in 2016, Samsung will make billion of dollars.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company could pick up the last A9 supply contract from Apple. Apple chose Samsung over TSMC because of the former's 14nm FinFET processing technology that has improved energy savings and efficiency.
