Samsung is one of the best hardware manufacture for smartphone, computer, hdtv and other electronic devices, I'm sure many other companies are willing to do business with Samsung's memory chips. Unlike Apple, I don't think many companies want to do business unless you want to be sue by Apple.

          Because Apple doesn't make their own hardware they have to use lower quality parts for their devices. You can easily see the Ax SoCs are the worse on the market. Compare them to Samsung's Exynos, Qualcomm's Snapdragon, or Nvidia's Tegra they have worse semiconductor technology, worse GPU, lower memory speed, lower CPU speed. The only thing Apple has better than all is competitors it's the marketing department.

            Anonymous, 07 Sep 2012And you know this how?? BTW Samsung is the biggest manufac... morethe more iphones are sold the more chips samsung can deliver to apple . so if the consumer buys apple, samsung , htc ,etc.. finally most chips and other basic electronic components come from samsung. So the chip department of samsung will always be the winner. (maybe smartphone dept of samsung can go down but not their electronic division.)

                                    Everyone has to go through the Bell Curve : One gets introduced then they grow to a maximum level (stage where no further improvements are possible or one is not capable of) and sustain it to a period and then have a downfall. Its stands true for everyone every product. So all these things are part and parcel nothing new in store for us as a surprise package.

Dude get out from the box. They destroyed every bit of low quality items to make sure that they produce top brands! Samsung is much more innovative than apple but apple is much more smart and cunning to collect others innovations do alterations and obtain shitty patents to extract every penny from the customers and other competitors? Read the history of apple dude! Who the hell can obtain patents for shapes in this world? huh apple did it & I wonder how ethical it is! simply because you are anti korean dont make useless arguments!
