It’s foolish to say they are, they produce great products including screens
Foolish to do so when Samsung do it the best
Like it or not they push each other to get better in all areas

That is not all it's showing lol
Notice how everyone rather use OLED than Micro-LED LCD display when the former is available in high capacity. No amount of shilling can save LCD!
Don't quite understand the few people who disagreed with my comment...
"Funny how so many Apple lovers put down Samsung etc. but it seems Samsung is a key ingredient to Apple phones."
They seem to have difficulty with facing reality. Oh well, as long as they are happy in their distorted bubble.

I’m knee deep in both platforms and it’s a contextually lacking comment. Samsung is a huge conglomerate and the mobile division has nothing to do with the manufacturing division. The Samsung people criticize has nothing to do with the Samsung making these displays. The sad thing is that Apple’s specs and calibration of the panels that Samsung manufactures for them sometimes our-perform Samsung’s in-house panels.
I mean, at least be fair and honest about it. You talk about living in a bubble and it’s quite clear you seem kinda close to that Samsung bubble and can’t get over the same thing you accuse others of. Seems to me Apple is a significant part of Samsung’s revenue(!?). Talk about a scary situation for ol’ Sammy.
Let’s talk about Samsung refrigerators or dishwashers next. Just stop.
Typing this on my 3rd-Gen iPad Pro as a Huawei P30 Pro sits right next to me, just for full-disclosure.
Not at all. Economics 101... Countries that could make a product at home get it manufactured abroad because it is cheaper (the details of the argument may be more complex, but that's the basic idea). Similarly, companies that could make a component themselves have it manufactured by another because it is economically, for the company at least, the best solution. If it made sense to Apple to make their own screens, then they would.
It could be true, but Digitimes reliability is ZERO.

You clearly understand very little about the smartphone market. Apple isn’t manufacturing anything at all.
Some nice revisionism there, samsung literally developed non of that. NAND flash was developed by Toshiba in the 80's, samsung also had next to no role in the initial development of OLED screens and ram
What samsung is good at is abusing their monopolies, price fixing and copying ip, hence why the great Steve Jobs up until the day he died was fighting samsung in court for ripping of the iphone with the carbon copy galaxy line.
Thank samsung and sk hynix south korean duopoly for price fixing nand and ram prices where they own 90%+ of the market, this is why prices of ssds and memory has been over inflated for the last 5+ years.

Apple doesn't manufacture any part of its phones so I'm not sure what your point is.....
Do you understand how Tech innovation actually works? Because if you think "inventing" is the most important thing I suggest you go and do a little research on the meaning of innovation.
Using your analogy, TSMC did no work on Fab and leading edge research, after all they didn't invent manufacturing of transistor.
NAND And DRAM Price Fixing. If they really had price fixing DRAM price /GB wouldn't have fallen to new *historic* low. But I guess most people dont understand much about lead time, capacity planning etc it is a fair mistake so I wont go on.
And Samsung is much bigger than Samsung mobile or Samsung Electronics. The owner of Samsung is also much bigger than the total of Samsung. The case of Samsung copying has nothing to do with its other manufacturing unit.

People who really know the businesses know Samsung is a great hardware manufacturer. They just don’t know how to implement software and the experience nearly as well as Apple.
Apple also designs the best chips in the industry, so they also understand the importance of hardware...they just don’t want to manufacture it because it’s capital intensive and low margin.
Still many people upset with this comment. If using a Samsung produced screen is not a key ingredient, those complaining have a very strange way of looking at the world
Nice try.Don't quite understand the few people who disagreed with my comment...

Pretty sure when you stoop to lame insults of those you disagree with, you automatically lose the argument, bud.
As to why people disagreed with your comment... hmmm, maybe they rolled their eyes at your COMPLETE lack of understanding of Samsung v. Apple?
Many sensible consumers may agree with Jony Ives’ opinion on the situation- which was (paraphrased): “my guys may work for months on end, sacrificing time with their families, etc. to execute the design vision that we had... it is not flattering at all that then the Samsung design team, quickly iterates an 85% copy over a period of weeks; we find it insulting & unfair”.
That sure resonated with me. It makes sense. I have a disdain for Samsung’s design team, for that reason.
HOWEVER (listen closely now!), those same sensible consumers likely don’t think “ugh, I’ll NEVER own a Samsung TV or refrigerator, since their completely separate mobile division has a sleazy design policy”.
Are you seeing the difference?
That’s why you sound so ridiculous & are getting pushback from people that possess very common knowledge that you are inexplicably unaware of... it is trivial for us to have zero respect for Samsung Mobile’s design team, yet understand that their screen manufacturing division is top notch.
You are lumping them together in a bizarre & disingenuous way to make fun of/take shots at those that have a MUCH better grasp on the situation than you do.
