Apple

Rassweiler estimated the iPod touch and iPhone designs have a 90 percent commonality in terms of components. For example, the key Integrated Circuit (IC) at the core of both the iPod touch and iPhone is Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.’s video/applications processor, a chip based on an ARM microprocessor core and employing stacked on-package memory. Costing $13.19 based on iSuppli’s October estimate, the Samsung processor accounts for 8.5 percent of the iPod touch’s total cost.
