This is a business world. Why buy the cow when u can buy the milk. Investing in chip manufacturing is a waste of time and prolonged the ROI.

In contrary, buying the chips from competitors made them busy and ROI is immediate...

Apple is just a businessman company...leading Steve Job's legacy...

However, they must think of some new techniques or the whole world will abandon them one day for making trouble with other innovative Samsung Products like Galaxy Camera, Galaxy Beam and Galaxy Note 10.1

This is what we geeks want!! APPLE!! Come out with something new or we will kiss your fruit goodbye!!

It's obvious that Google is no longer tolerating these iSue activities and striking back with their new MotoSue dept.

                Samsung May loose a large amount of business.. but it will always come back strong.

                @apple - What happens if your new hardware does not perform upto samsung's hardware standards?.
                - Already you guys are expensive what if you become more expensive?? Will people Buy?..

                    AnonD-59657, 10 Sep 2012Dr. Martin Lawrence Cooper of Motorola is the real inventor... moreThey couldnt. What you need to understand is, that Applebees are totally blinded by the brand. I admit, it is not crap, but they act like, there is only crap out there, but apple and that is just blindly stupid. Those are the people, who will never have success in life, because they life, with decisions made from others, not themselves. It is expensive, but still, it is a device for the worker class.

                        The problem with Apple is that they dont really have core technology. They just acquired others to fullfill the technology needs.

                        Apple is more like a fashion company such as LV, DKNY, Channel, Choach, a trend setting company.

                        Apple spends much money on branding, marketing to make the cheap products looks expensive and consumers have to pay premium price.

                                    Apple are sore loosers. This whole case was brought along due to fear of a better product. Samsung far outclasses the Apple devices. If Samsung can come out of no where and put products into the main stream market withina short space of time. As well as grabbing a huge portion of the market. Just looking at that, we can see that within the next few years, Samsung will have the monopoly of the cellular market, with devices such as tablets and mobile phones.
