Looks like iPhone 5 production well on the way. That’s according to sources in South Korea. Samsung factories are working overtime with reports suggesting that Samsung has agreed to “quadruple monthly shipments of [processors] to Apple”. That means 50% of Samsung production capacity is dedicated to pumping out iPhone 5 Apple A5 chips and the firm is also said to be planning a new $3.6bn plant in Austin, Texas to ensure it can ship more mobile processors to Apple. The iPhone 5 A5 chip is said to be similar but not identical to the processors inside the Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy Tab and Samsung Galaxy Player.

We’ll also see the same Super AMOLED screen tech as the bigger Samsung Galaxy S. Do we know this for sure?
