If you read the OP, Apple did look around but found nothing. *
AFAIK they have been testing TSMC, but it doesn't seem to be able to provide Apple before 2015. TSMC is testing 450mm wafer production, to increase the number of good chips per wafer and that way increase production and reduce cost per good chip, but it seems they have delayed it until 2018, and they seem to be capacity constrained with nVidia, AMD and Xilinx at the moment. I'm sure they can't provide Apple those 200 million chips per year without negating other customers those wafer starts.
Samsung also sells Apple flash memory, and screens, so it was a really bad decision to sue them. *
