Wasn't the A4/A5 chip fabbed by Samsung? Apple doesn't have a chipmaking plant...yet. There's one part that's Apple-only.

And Samsung wouldn't have to imply anything. They could just make life harder for the iPad supply chain.

Breach of contract would just make it bad for Samsung Semiconductor, because I don't believe that Apple would leave that up to chance ...

You appear to be assuming there are no clauses regarding unforeseen production difficulties, associated supply problems, and penalties in said contract.
