So what your sating is that every single Apple computer and iPhone and iPad are inferior crap due to the FACT they ALL use Samsung components...
Every single Apple consumer at present does NOT have the very best because of Samsung?
This is why I love Mac Rumors, the ideology's are utterly hilarious
A lot of the reason people like Apple so much is because they hate Microsoft so much. iPhones, iPods, and iPads were really just benefactor accessories in the sea of change. It is easy to redirect your emotions to Samsung now that Microsoft has lost it's glory. Apple could be the next has been but who will replace it on the desktop? Microsoft/Windows has totally lost their way and Google/Linux doesn't have the swagger.
Samsung should release a desktop OS and throw everyone off.

But most Samsung haters that hate them for their business and marketing strategy hate Samsung branded devices not Samsung manufacturing they are completely different. Samsung branded devices are designed by Samsung (with some patent infringements), manufactured by Samsung and marketed (in an unethical way) by Samsung. But When Apple selects Samsung as a manufacturer, It is designed by Apple, marketed by Apple and Samsung only manufactures them. So no, it doesn't really affected Samsung ''haters''
You can't be serious ... since when was Samsung's display inferior technology??
Samsung panels aren't designed by Apple, so does their SSD, RAM and other stuffs. But those stuffs are fit Apple's requirements.
With Jobs gone, I think the only real animosity comes from the more rabid fans posting in forums.
Otherwise, I'm sure the law firms are happy to keep the lawsuits going, the marketing firms are happy getting more work to do, and the designers and engineers are okay with having to compete on implementation.
Just business as usual.
Of course, Apple will continue to court other suppliers. They must fear Samsung one day saying no, because that's what Apple itself would do if it could. Apple is very prone to shutting out competition from parts, by buying up companies or getting exclusive deals. Fortunately for them, Samsung is quite willing to sell them parts even while being a competitor.
(Samsung is no longer heavily reliant on Apple. Apple ceased being the world's biggest buyer of electronics about a year ago. Samsung is now. Moreover, as Apple has switched to using other suppliers, that switch has forced other companies to move from those suppliers over to Samsung. It's basically a null game.)

Sam-ple?
Then, wouldn't that make them Sam-ple? LOL Or App-sung? To have a mixed baby? It's like White and Asian couple. Mmm interesting.

Right. Because Samsung needs inside information to copy if they wanted. They couldn't just watch the keynotes and/or buy a device in the store?
Apple will continue to do business with Samsung because unlike some posters here, business is business. It's not personal. If Samsung makes the best components, are competitive with their pricing, etc - then it only makes sense that Apple would use them as a supplier.
SSD and RAM is not designed by Apple, I did not said something like that, And you missed the main point, people hate Samsung branded devices like Galaxy Devices, Samsung TVs etc. not Samsung manufactured devices like SSD, RAM etc.
Yes...it make sense Apple wasting billions of dollar to learn how to make every single components inside iPad, iPhone, iPod, Mac. It is also making sense Apple to build every single thing inside of their product, from transistors, capacitors to hard drives, SSD, RAM, LTE chips etc.
It makes total sense for Apple to do that when they can get components from supplier at much lower prices. You are just a good CEO candidate for Apple.

Some people here hate Samsung branded products, maybe because their loyalty to Apple or they just naturally hate Samsung without reason. But not ALL apple users and people hate Samsung stuffs. I seen many iPad users carrying an Samsung phone or Samsung TV or Samsung coolers etc.
You also need keep in mid every Samsung branded component inside Apple prouder will carry Samsung brand, whether you can see it or not. If you only referring product that has Samsung visible (like on the front or back of the product carrying Samsung logo) then you are probably right. But I do no think people are this narrow minded.
The only thing 'fragrant' around here is this paragraph. It seems to be wrong in every single respect.
You don't get the main point don't you? Galaxy Devices, Samsung TVs etc. are Samsung Branded devices, SSDs, LCD Panels, etc. are Samsung Manufactured devices. People hate Samsung Branded devices. Understand?
Nope because it's a complete BS by you, most people love their Samsung devices as much as their Apple devices...

What part of my post indicated I thought they needed insider information? I said they would no longer have the resources to compete. I wasn't serious anyway

Thats not what he meant - reread the context of the original post.
LOL.
If this thread topic read "Samsung found guilty and forced to pay billions" the thread would have 15+ pages of comments bashing Korea and how the scum company needs to go out of business.
But the thread topic reads "Samsung becomes apple's top ipad display supplier in q1 2014" or anything positive about Samsung and it's 2 or 3 pages with barely a chatter.
The trolls come out of the woodworks and are always moving their goalposts.
This forum makes me laugh.
