Apple still turning to Samsung for the panels to the Apple iPad

It's not "co-existing" when you can't exist without the existance of the other; more like "dependent" as in Dependent Personality Disorder for corporations.

Explains Apple's View of others:

Individuals or corporations with DPD see other people or companies as much more capable to shoulder life's responsibilities, to navigate a complex world, and to deal with the competitions of life. Other people or companies appear powerful, competent, and capable of providing a sense of security and support to individuals or companies with DPD. Dependent individuals or corporations avoid situations that require them to accept responsibility for themselves; they look to others to take the lead and provide continuous support.
DPD judgment of others is distorted by their inclination to see others as they wish they were, rather than as they are. These individuals or corporations are fixated in the past. They maintain youthful impressions; they retain unsophisticated ideas and childlike views of the people toward whom they remain totally submissive. Individuals or corporations with DPD view strong caretakers, in particular, in an idealized manner; they believe they will be all right as long as the strong figure upon whom they depend is accessible.

Self-image of corporations with DPD:
Individuals or corporations with DPD see themselves as inadequate and/or helpless; they believe they are in a cold and dangerous world and are unable to cope on their own. They define themselves as inept and abdicate self-responsibility; they turn their fate over to others. These individuals will decline to be ambitious and believe that they lack abilities, virtues and attractiveness.
The solution to being helpless in a frightening world is to find capable people who will be nurturing and supportive toward those with DPD. Within protective relationships, individuals with DPD will be self-effacing, obsequious, agreeable, docile, and ingratiating. They will deny their individuality and subordinate their desires to significant others. They internalize the beliefs and values of significant others. They imagine themselves to be one with or a part of something more powerful and they imagine themselves to be supporting others. By seeing themselves as protected by the power of others, they do not have to feel the anxiety attached to their own helplessness and impotence.
However, to be comfortable with themselves and their inordinate helplessness, individuals with DPD must deny the feelings they experience and the deceptive strategies they employ. They limit their awareness of both themselves and others. Their limited perceptiveness allows them to be naive and uncritical.
Their limited tolerance for negative feelings, perceptions, or interaction results in the interpersonal and logistical ineptness that they already believe to be true about themselves. Their defensive structure reinforces and actually results in verification of the self-image they already hold.

Haha, "what else does apple need from Samsung, besides copying their design and software", you sir made me chuckle. Apple copying Samsung's design and software, are you dumb? When apple released the first iPhone, Samsung released their first samsung galaxy phone which looked identical to the first iPhone, even the software was very similar. Sure Apple may have copied Android with iOS 7, but everyone is copying each other now a days. Go troll somewhere else. Apple is a successfully whether you like it or not, it will continue to sell and we can't expect them to go bankrupt anytime soon.
