...not again another Apple cheap marketing strategy to get the media attention...one phone a year also cannot get it right, what a pathetic company
im sorry iphones are really nice phones but to wait that long for a phone and with a pricetag that high,, its not worth it
AnonD-9023, 26 Sep 2011Whatever u say next iPhone sells better than iPhone 4 just like iPad 2 .
People Laughed at ... moreyea
the biggest hit=the top is behind apple
eyepopping=booooring now

Actually my whole point was that Samsung benifits a lot from supplying components to Apple..

And even if Samsung wants to pass this information they cant.. There are some rules of business which even commoners can understand... Do you think Apple did not think that such things may make their products vulnerable to others???
Anonymous, 26 Sep 2011Isn't it weird that no one cares that almost the entire PC World uses Intel chips? How come no... moreAcutially, it is not just the power of the processor that phone manufacturs look for. They also have to factor in design and function. ie qualcomm not only designs processors but they also design radio antennas. As a matter of fact, the design processors integrated with antennas, and manufacturs like that because they can now put more things in the phone and keep it slim and sleek...
simply iPhone is the LION KING

How come nobody is predicting the demise of HP, Apple, Dell, and even Samsung? Oh I get it, it's only when Apple uses it in smartphones right?
So will Sony Ericsson, HTC etc also die now since they don't make their own chips too?

If another company assemblies your products, You have compromised your intellectual property. They know what your building and can easily transfer this information to "family" members.
I didn't realize that apple TV was doing well. I understand why Apple has gotten into the market niche as it is growing rapidly.
we've gotten off topic. I want to applaud you on your civil debate tone. much appreciated.

There is absolutley no guarantee that Samsung would suddenly sell more devices if it stopped supplying Apple.
Apple merely has to ask other companies to tender for the contract, and if Samsung pulls the plug on Apple before their own contract is finished without a legal reason, they will be sued for massive amounts.
Supplying parts to rivals has helped Samsung become the giant it is today, and they may need to fall back on that business in the future. It's common business sense. Eggs in baskets.

All products are hits eh. Is the "Apple TV" a sales Hit?

The Samsung Electonics itself contains a vast category of electronics... I expect you to know that by Samsung I referred to Samsung Electonics as this forrum is for gadgets and not heavy industries...
