Somethings are just unbelievable. Apple claiming they have patented the rounded rectangle shape. So what will the other makers do? Create triangular or round phones and patent them? Anyway necessity is the mother of invention.

Typical case of reality distortion....
Actually, Nokia won a patent suit against Apple last year for $700m and an estimated $11.50 for each iPhone sold

This is funny considering Samsung is Apple's biggest parts supplier (Touch screens, memory chips and processors). Also Apple is the biggest customer for Samsung products.....my take...Apple needs Samsung but Samsung can do it without Apple.

Keep it simple

so who is more important to the other - the supplier to the customer or the customer to the supplier. the reason suppliers exist is because of customers. customers always have options on where to take their money suppliers cannot refuse money.

Scenario 1: Apple refuses to buy from Samsung I am sure that there will be many OEMs and ODMs falling over themselves to get the 'tender'. meanwhile Samsung loses revenue and starts firing people.

Scenario 2: Samsung refuses to sell to Apple...I am sure that there will be many OEMs and ODMs falling over themselves to get the 'tender'. meanwhile Samsung loses revenue and starts firing people.

Heads or tails - Samsung loses!

I don't think they are many supplier who can supply at the scale and quality needed by apple - in fact I doubt if any exists apart from samsung.

to get to the level samsung is at, in terms of manufacture and supply of the said parts, it would take a good number of years and I dont think apple will wait that long.

Actually Samsung got the deal after LG failed to match the needed quality for iPad 2 screens. I guess samsung also takes the lead in processor and memory chip quality. RINK

Wanjiku sues all pizza maker for copying the shape of chapati which she had patented at Ndunduri patent office!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Now that Samsung makes nearly everything for Apple, customers should buy products from the source (Samsung galaxy, tab etc) instead of the overpriced broker (apple) whose only job is adding cosmetic changes to the exfactory samsung products.
