Apple hate Samsung, pure and simple. If not for Samsung there would be no iPhone displays. I hear for the 12's it is BOE, whoever that is?

I’m not convinced that any corporation is capable of emotions, hence “hate” seems the wrong term. They surely dislike plenty of what Samsung does as a competitor and surely like many of the components they make.

A corporation is made up of people, and that company becomes a living entity as reflected by their peoples actions and words. I think hate is a more than fair term, and with Apple, FB, Twitter, et al., I'd say hate is front and center.

The emotions are down to the individuals. If you had a point then Samsung would not be making parts for Apple. Money talks nothing else.

That is the most disingenuous rebuttal I think I've heard in weeks. You seem to be able to do something that no corporation has ever been able to do, remove the emotions and effects of their people from their brand. A computer is just a pile of parts, until it has someone slapping a keyboard. A corporation is just an entity until it's people plot out a business model, and some idiot MBA pukes out yet another worthless Mission Statement! If I had a point, Apple would not be attempting to build their own chips, their own radios, their own glass (the new ceramic glass is still Owens Corning, but Apple had them build it under their name to avoid the fact that it is still a version of infused Victus glass). Oh wait, maybe I do have a point?

No you don’t. You assume a business idea gives corporations feelings. They don’t.
Apple happily deals with Samsung and Google and Microsoft.
Corporations may advertise their mission statements and you are subject to emotional marketing. Rest- see above. Money walks.

Well, this seems like it is going to go down the "Oh Yeah, Well This Is You" path, so I'll punch out points intact and valid, irrespective of the fact that you don't care for them.

Never piss off an Apple fan boy, or he'll hit you with his purse!
 
I would jump on a full screen iPad Mini as well, but unfortunately I don’t see it happening. I say this only because I think it would cannibalize sales of the other sizes too much, and the price would have to be at least $599. I’ll probably end up going to the Pro Max like you as a substitute for this. At least the screen quality would be better on the Pro Max.
The mini is a mini version of the Air (until this refresh), so I think it’ll get the 2020 Air treatment. I can’t imagine it would take many sales from the $329 iPad, or even the Air.

But even if it does, Apple’s fine with customers buying a $599 mini instead 🤷‍♂️
