Hi readers! I bet you already know about this two brands of smartphones.
Maybe there are ever customer 'competition' for what is the best brand.
But did you know, Samsung and Apple are just like 'frenemies'
Lets just check it out !!
Samsung relationship with Apple Inc.
Despite recent litigation activity, Samsung and Apple have been described as frenemies who share a love-hate relationship. Samsung is a major supplier for Apple - first providing memory for the early iPod devices in 2005, and Apple is a key customer for Samsung - in 2012 its component sales were thought to be worth in the region of $8 billion revenue to Samsung - to the point where Apple CEO Tim Cook originally opposed litigation against Samsung wary of the company's critical component supply chain for Apple.
In April 2011, Apple Inc. announced that it was suing Samsung over the design of its Galaxy range of mobile phones. The lawsuit was filed on 15 April 2011 and alleges that Samsung infringed on Apple's trademarks and patents of the iPhone and iPad. Samsung issued counterclaim against Apple of patent infringement.
In August 2011, at The Regional Court od Dusseldorf, Apple was granted a preliminary injunction against the sale and marketing of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 across the whole of Europe excluding the Netherlands.
The ban has been temporarily lifted in the European Union, with the exclusion of Germany whilst it is investigated whether or not the original injunction was appropriate.
On August 31, 2012, the Tokyo District Court rules Samsung Electronics' mobile devices did not violate an Apple patent. The case only addressed Apple's patent that allows mobile devices and personal computers to synchronize or share data with each other and is not comparable with the U.S. court case ruled on 24 August.
On October 18, 2012, U.K. High Court ruled that Samsung did not infringe Apple's design patents. Apple was forced to issue a court-ordered apology to Samsung on its official U.K. website.
