Lately, Apple has been busy building a team to bring its own GPU tech and soon will stop using Imagination Technologies Group's graphics processing units for iPhone and other devices. However, the British firm will not give up as they have doubts that Apple might infringe their property by developing a brand new GPU.

According to Engadget, Apple will be using an ARM system that was paired with PowerVR GPU. At some point, the company has been started to the craft of its own silicon which has been purchased from various chip design firms. The Imagination Technologies Group said that Apple will no longer be using their property in the new products for 15 months to two years in time.

Bringing GPU production might have a major development to the new upcoming iPhone 8, as it will launch later this year. Developing its own GPU tech will be a big hint for the Apple as it has a massive space, a top-of-the-range graphic processing that will become a foundation of the Apple company, and a stepping stone to stop relying on others IP.

PCWorld reported that the Apple's current iPhone 7 GPU is based on Rogue architecture from the Imagination Technologies Groups. Apple's key strength is keeping its technology to be fully optimized for the device, which something Android cannot achieve. Apple has been known for ditching the chip makers especially when it does not meet the performance target.

Though the British firm has a doubt on bringing their own property, Apple has not been presented their evidence to not violating Imagination's patents, property, and confidential information. The Imagination Technologies Group had been requested for an evidence but Apple decline to prove it, and it has already been stated that the British firm will take this kind of matter to the courts. This abrupt end of Apple and the British firm is a massive blow were the shares of the British firm falls for over 60 percent in an early trading.
