I am totally puzzled about how this "sleeping with the enemy" relationship works. Apple has no choice... my guess is it's the reason Apple started investing in manufacturing capacity for its other suppliers.

Assuming iPhone 5 arrives in October, how much exposure did Samsung have to iPhone 5 features? Even if the 5 were coming out at the end of June (which looks less and less likely given that we haven't heard about manufacturing ramps), I don't think Samsung would be privy to any info other than screen specs, assuming they're going to be supplying glass for it, and the main chip, which will presumably be the A5X. There's no reason they'd know about any features they're not supplying parts for, nor about the overall design.
