NEW YORK CITY – Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) began shipping mobile processors to Apple during the second quarter of this year and will continue through 2015, the Wall Street Journal reported.

"Apple makes all of its suppliers sign a vow of silence," said Nathan Brookwood, principal of market watcher Insight64. "There have been consistent rumors over the past year that Apple is going to turn to TSMC for the next microprocessor that's going to be used in the iPhone 6, which is rumored to come out in September."
