Samsung vs. Apple: need more gold
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Samsung and Apple still can not calm down. Products of both companies have successfully sold, but manufacturers seem boring. Apple patent wars within the Samsung otsuzhivat a billion dollars, and the Korean giant seems to have it a lot pripeklo.
Samsung have raised the price of the processors that they supply Apple. These processors are used for Apple mobile devices, and are one of the key components required for the manufacture of finished devices.
It is obvious that Samsung may be many reasons for which they can raise the price of their products, but in light of recent Conflict between the two corporate giants for other reasons, but to attempt to recapture his billion just does not come in head.
At the moment, Apple is one of the largest customers of various electronic components in the world. This is due to the amount produced by their smartphones and tablets. It also makes Apple heavily dependent on these suppliers.
Tim Cook is known for his talent to achieve the lowest possible prices for each item from each vendor, but this time Samsung has succeeded. Despite the initial rejection of the purchase of components at a higher price, Apple eventually were forced to accept because of the lack of vendor capable of within a reasonable time to replace Samsung.
In fact, for the average person it is still at least strange. Pretty confusing look of the company, at the same time associated with huge contracts for the production and purchase of components, while catching each other with anything on the court. It is understood that this is a business, and then stand at the head of the profit and success of, and simple human feelings and notions of positive reciprocity, there is no place.
On the other hand, this approach seems to be quite fair. When Cook was asked about the fate of the relationship between Samsung and against the decision to refuse purchase displays for the iPhone and iPad in favor of other suppliers, he said that Apple is still the Samsung customer and business relationships will be continue. That's just the buyer, no more and no less. Quite honest it seems Samsung decision to sell Apple accessories for their total for all other customers the price.
It remains to be happy for Samsung and its confidence in its future.
Well, what that means to us? Of course, affordability. It is hardly possible to reorganize the supply chain on a scale so that it will not affect the plans and the actual implementation of product release plans. And yet the price. Does anyone really think that Apple will pay the difference out of pocket?
