Apple Ditches Samsung as iPhone 5 Memory, Display Supplier

[f-14]

apple sues samsung wins X amount in court , samsung raises prices to pay for said court award, apple basically shots itself in the foot or has to pay itself it's court award.
samsung FTW
too funny, but that's how it works, in business, just like when the fdic raised insurance rates after the too big to fail tax payer bail out tax payers paid the insurance rate increase ever since in all those bank fees instituted since too big to fail bail out.

Samsung gets caught ripping-off intellectual rights, loses in court 1 billion plus (so far and more to come), loses 10% of its' income or $7.5 billion per year, China copies the Galaxy... Apple ROFL.

Apple FTW!

No bank bailout, 401K = 001K, NASDAQ DJIA = $2,000, Global [strike]Recession[/strike] Depression and everyone = SOL. Taxpayer's have been paid back plus interest (profit); trust me 'people' flipped the bill (raised bank fees). Vote Republican for a repeal of the bank's new 'restrictive' regulation laws -- if you want a repeat! The thing I'm still trying to figure-out is why the banks top brass aren't all in jail (not really the bank's have the strongest lobbyist) and S&P didn't get sued into oblivion with their AAA rating of the junk mortgage-backed securities (not shocked there either pay S&P fees for your rating), and S&P has the brass to lower any Country's ratings.

No duh, the World, Politics, and Business are corrupt, but the funny thing is the source of the money is primarily everyday middle-class folks.

If you're gong to post 'stuff' fact-check!

You do know Samsung uses Foxconn too right??

Maybe Samsung ditched Apple?

It's likely to be both sides of the coin, here. They both have reasons to distance themselves from each other, from a business and legal perspective.

I'm not anticipating this will negatively effect Apple or Samsung, really. They're both going to keep making shitloads of money. Apple will have other suppliers lined up to take their business and Samsung will have other customers clamouring for the production capacity Apple used to use.

Get real. Corporations, smart ones, it's all about money and nothing about feelings and my best guess is Apple ultimatum to Samsung was to quit manufacturing iPhone rip-offs and that dissolved the relationship. A 10% loss is going to sting.

[citation][nom]mavroxur[/nom]Hell, it could be about price. If I were Samsung, i'd jack up my pricing to Apple to "recover a $1 Billion loss". Screw Apple and the horse they rode in on. Good riddance to them.[/citation]

It appears Samsung is ending preferential volume pricing for Apple. Apple will eventually have to come back to Samsung for NAND and DRAM's, especially considering Samsung's 40% worldwide marketshare.

Well, as of 2011, Apple's share of Samsung's entire revenue was less than 5% - though it's expected to be in 7%-8% range for 2012. Considering the insatiable worldwide demand for NAND & DRAM, I don't think Samsung is going to get hurt here. HTC and other smaller OEMs are often neglected because Apple's big orders often crowded them out. Let's not also forget, Samsung's own mobile division has been growing 150+% last 3-4 years.

just one more thing, Samsung will not pay a single dime, until the case goes to the federal court of appeals. This could easily take 2-3 years and, if history is any guidance, the ruling will probably be whittled down to some insignificant number, or overturned outright.

What new restrictive regulations? The Glass-Steagall act is still in repeal and the situation is ripe for another crash...
