Do you realize we are making the intelligent choice here, whereas you're desperately trying to justify your yearly $400 burn (that's what you pay for the logo)? Pat yourself on the back, your $400 has a great place in Apple's ocean of profit.

Don't you guys see that Apple needs Samsung desperately in order to survive since they buy most of their components from them, while Samsung is kicking strong since 1938 the year they got founded they just have grown bigger and bigger since then.
Apple is so tiny compared to Samsung that is even hard to compare.

And those at Apple are nothing but a bunch o liars and deceivers and they spread their lies around the globe and try to deceive everyone, the lie being the biggest sin.
But don't worry the day of God's judgment is close and all the liars and deceivers will receive God's wrath.

Apple doesn't want to Samsung to copy their tech and upgrade it while Apple send them the spec to Samsung to manufacture it. Samsung scare to lose so they know the Apple spec and so call "IMPROVE" it on their stuff.

Samsung and Apple should be friends to fight of the WP.

Sue the tiles as copied Android widgets but in square blocks and Apple to sue for M$ using a touchscreen phone combining this into a product against Apple.

I guess that why you guys get unreasonably angry when anyone commits blasphemy against your God.

(Of course, by assuming the apple is part of the Original Sin story, you're saying non-Abrahamic religions are also godless heathens. But we'll leave that topic for another day.)

There is something very very special about SAMSUNG watch out this:
SAM+SUN+G
SAM (ordinary man) + SUN (sun in the sky) + G (comes from God)
So SAMSUNG's name represents the order of things in this world.

While APPLE represents:
APPLE = sign of the biggest SIN and of the FALLEN ONES.

So SAMSUNG can only RISE while APPLE can only FALL.

The only one who'll get into trouble by ending the relationship is Apple, who'll have to work and spend very hard to come up with a new partner (expect all sorts of compatibility and reliability issues too), whereas Samsung will just say "next" and sell it's parts to whoever is in front of the line. Probably earning more profit too since Apple demands notoriously low discount prices I'm not sure they'll get it anywhere else, and after these lawsuits, Samsung won't offer any discount either. They effed with the wrong company, now they'll get what they asked for. It's inevitable.

Samsung is the best player here, as it manufacturers their OWN chip. Apple problem is that due to outsourcing to foxxconn now it is out of the market as lack of innovation on hardware. Android is nowadays TOP1 , the king, and for a long time.

Samsung doesn't need Apple, as the world is adapting to OLED display technology, samsung will generate mass profit from OLED alone, being the world's largest oled maker.

There's not enough chip Fabs in the world to supply the demand for CPUs, GPUs, mobile chips, RAM, NAND, Flash, etc. in short therms if Apple goes to TSMC or Global Foundries those companies don't have enough Fabs to supply their demand and their actual customers demands at the same time so if Apple goes to TSMC or Global Foundries their actual customers like NVidia, AMD or Qualcomm will have to come to Samsung to make their chips since Samsung is almost the biggest chip maker in the industry second place after Intel.
Samsung lose a customer and gains another 2 or 3, what a pity. lol
