LG the big winner from the Apple-Samsung skirmish, to supply most of the iPad Mini 7.85" displays

adios to samsung display but i doubt samsung would let go of manufacturing the chips for apple. they are after all their biggest customer hence the texas plant built just for apple's A5,A5x chips. mutualism is the word to describe their relationship.

Its a pity they can't realise that and put an end to the bickering

oh great idea… stop making revenue through one of your biggest customers… apple can always go get other people to make their parts-- no it wouldnt be optimal, and thats why both apple and samsung decide to keep things separated-- obviously there are tensions but they arent going to make poor business decisions based on pride

Apple pays them for manufacturing the parts then they sue them so they can get the money back.

Apple logic, you can't deny it.

I hear business practice used by apple is also ruthless where they demand a pricing structure for figure x (let's use 5 million) and end up using that pricing for figure y (significantly less than figure x which the contract is based on). I know that lot of big corporations pull this move but with all the money in the world, i'm sure they can pay a little more without a huge impact on their margin which is already huge to begin with

lol no. if that was the case many other manufacturers would have been sued too, for phones that ''look'' lik e iPhone. Apple will only sue if you eat into their market share, irregardless if you are their supplier or not
