Paragraphs 3 and 4:
"As chip makers, for example, struggle to unhinge themselves from the
sinking European handset giant, they are finding an even more competitive
market beyond Nokia. That is because Apple Inc and Samsung Electronics Co,
the industry's two biggest smartphone players by volume, have locked them
out of the market by designing and manufacturing chips for their devices on
their own.
"'We knew they were on their way down,' said Philippe Lambinet,
STMicroeletronics NV senior vice president and corporate-strategy officer,
referring to Nokia, 'but we didn't think it would be so bad.'
My comment: There is no need to read the text, if you are not a techie.
Apple is using Samsung to make chips, at least for now.
