TSMC was the sole supplier for the A8, but the A9 chips are currently manufactured by both companies.
If the report is accurate, TSMC could begin production in June ahead of the expected September launch. The report also claims that the A10 could use the new and more efficient 10nm design.
For Samsung, the loss will certainly be material as Apple ships over 150 million iPhones per year.
