Why Apple Uses Samsung Parts

What if I told you that several of the parts in your iPhone was supplied by Samsung, one of Apple’s biggest competitors? It may be surprising, but both Apple and Samsung benefit from this relationship. Due to the way each of them does business.

My step dad works at Samsung, and you’d be surprised at how much the two competitors work together. Hell, they flew him to Apple HQ not too long ago

The rivalry between large technology companies only exists in the minds of consumers (aka "fans"), because they have very strong commercial and technological relationships. In other words, it's stupid to fight for these companies.

Video Idea: Why won’t apple make Fridges Like Samsung

This is why being an Apple or Samsung fanboy is kinda pointless because at the end of the day both companies end up with your money lol

[shortmate]

Moral of the story : Even though they are rivals they both need each other to survive.

People who make fun of Samsung have been real quiet after this

I've seen quite a few of these 'Apple Explains' videos - this one is the easiest to make sense of. Sort of a win-win for all, at least for the first many years.

Kind of strange that this would surprise people. LG and Samsung pretty much make the displays for every song in the world. Samsung helped make the M1 chipsets

There are rumors that Apple will be making their own screens in the coming future, they’ve recently acquired a mini LED manufacturer… I think we all know why Apple acquires small companies

Another brilliant video. Simple but informative. 👏🏾

You might as well get an actual Samsung phone because of this!

[lenoirx]

Simple, because Apple knows who is the best manufacturer on the market

I think the biggest reason why Samsung & Apple have worked together is to "Kill" the competition despite probably being each others biggest competitiors now they don't have really anyone that can compete with them seriously.

[ninjanerdstudent]

They are working together to form a duopoly.

Samsung: You're now stuck with me...
Apple: NO!

Most of the people on social media cry that samsung make displays for iPhone means Apple did nothing just went to samsung shop and chose the display however thing is way different. Apple do the designing part and samsung has the largest phone display manufacturing in the world so they manufacture.
People don’t understand difference between manufacturer and designer.

Like the minimalistic animations, and simple but intuitive designs.

Hello Greg, was wondering whether you would be interested making a video about apple’s product user group. I follow the usual “tech” channels and podcast and see that it is heavily geared towards and made by nerdy kind of background (e.gl heavy pc/computer users). But last time I try to figure out whether my Apple Pencil should get a sleeve or not and realise that those videos / channels are mostly occupied by students / artists who uses their devices quite differently. It was also striking that their videos are not always straight lines and clean symmetric b roll, but more wavy lines, alternate font types en lots of pastel colours. So I was wondering whether you know or interested in sharing perhaps the wide range of users. Sometimes I think the “tech” videos do remain often in their own bubble where we continue to discuss usb-c ports rather than what people actually do with the new products or features.

The important thing to know about Samsung is that they operate their parts devision separate from the devisions that manufacturer consumer electronics. Thus their parts devision operates with the goal of selling parts to as many manufacturers as possible including to companies that compete with Samsung consumer devision. So while Samsung the phone brand competes with Apple, they don’t control the parts devision and couldn’t order the parts devision to cut off Apple (or Sony or any other customer) if they wanted to. The parent company knows that keeping both the parts devision strong helps the consumer devision more so then giving them a monopoly over smartphone chips, screens, batteries, etc. Samsung’s phone devision likely knows that if Apple was ever cut off from Samsung parts they would find a reliable alternate partner soon enough so any benefit for Samsung phone sales would be short lived.
