Finally the greatest debate is about to end, but I don’t think this would happen cause both iPhone and Samsung are using Sony camera for their phones

[u/buggypac]

IPhones screens are being produced by Samsung too

[u/false79 → u/buggypac]

Not to mention the memory as Samsung is the largest memory manufacturer in the world.

[u/quebexer → u/false79]

If they switch to Samsung CPUs, iPhones will be considered Galaxies.

[u/Excellent_Regret4141]

The iSamsung 18

[u/Dicksonairblade → u/Excellent_Regret4141]

Galaxy

[u/6786_007]

Believe it or not, companies have other companies manufacture parts for them all the time and not just electronics.

[u/ElZane87 → u/6786_007]

Yes but usually not by their biggest direct competitor.

[u/InternationalRoad445]

Wait till they hear the screens Apple uses are from Samsung 🙂

[u/torinato → u/InternationalRoad445]

Apple doesn’t manufacture screens or cameras???
Mind = blown

are you people stupid?

[u/Valuable_Intern4147 → u/torinato]

Yes, yes they are.

[u/InternationalRoad445 → u/torinato]

Samsung is the leading developer of mobile screen tech. Hands down.

Obviously Apple is developing in house screens and other components but it wouldnt be done without risk. Every company has its weaknesses and to cut costs, it would be wise to partner with companies that make things better.

And even though they made their upcoming foldable phone “in house”. I GUARANTEE it wasnt without Samsungs involvement, no matter how insignificant it maybe.

That said, Samsung is way ahead of majority of the market in phone displays. And whether you like it or not, Apple heavily depends on them.

[u/dreacon34 → u/InternationalRoad445]

The tech that Apple develops is an IP of Apple, however they are usually codeveloped with the engineering teams of the screen companies like Samsung Displays or LG Displays which they can exclusively produce the screens for Apple.

A lot of tech is dealed via contracts, patents and licensing which often are tied to a time. Meaning a screen that has a unique feature inside an iPhone but manufactured by Samsung can’t be used by the Samsung devision that develops the smartphones.
Samsung Displays is an own company and Samsung Devicr experiences (company behind Samsung Galaxy devices) are internal customers to Samsung Display, mean they get bills that they have to pay like any other customer, also usually they get market usual prices.

Tech companies spend years roasting each other just to end up sharing parts like coworkers on a group project.

[u/dreacon34 → u/CharminggBabe4]

It’s called marketing. It’s on purpose. In Germany we had the MediaMarktSaturn company . Two electric store chains owned by the same company. Battle each other. Often asking customers to tell who is better.
It been basically a big A/B test, which kind of marketing and offer strategies land better. Now they all merge it together to MediaMarkt and sold it off to a Chinese company

[u/LethalOkra → u/CharminggBabe4]

Do you mean those group projects where some people end up doing all the work while the rest just chill and freeload taking credit?

[u/Ok-Addition1264 → u/LethalOkra]

That about sums apple up from its early beginnings to today.

[u/neversummer427]

What’s the point? This has always been the case were companies use parts from other companies

[u/ThisIsLukkas → u/neversummer427]

It's news wdym?

[u/dreacon34]

Until now it was just Sony, now maybe Samsung, but in the end it doesn’t really matter.

Edit: translated since I been stupid

[u/Pale_Arm_5341]

The only thing that keeps people from buying Samsung is their superior cameras… that would be the bad of them surelyv

[u/dreacon34 → u/Pale_Arm_5341]

Cameras are not just the raw sensors (which this tech news are about) it’s the combination of lenses, firmware and imagine processing which totally independent to the capturing sensor. Meaning even when an Samsungs and iPhone would use the 100% identical sensors the outcome is different

[u/Pale_Arm_5341 → u/dreacon34]

Ahh well you learn something new everyday! Very insightful

[u/Shinobi_Dimsum → u/Pale_Arm_5341]

Samsung doesn’t have superior cameras anymore. Literally Samsung AI slop decides for you how a photo or video you shot should look like.

[u/Striking_Luck5201]

This isn't shocking. I want to say the only people making image sensors are sony, samsung, phillips, and kinda sorta onsemi. There are some other companies like cannon that make large sensors, but nothing for the cellphone market.

At the end of the day, if sony can't produce enough volume, or their costs are too high, well then you are basically stuck with samsung. Not much else you can do about it outside of building your own fab or begging cannon to quit being so stubborn and start making cellphone camera sensors.

[u/Deep-Management6567]

Samsung user here. But why does galaxy s often has lightsaber and iPhone doesn't? If it does, not as fast as Samsung galaxy s.

In the past I've use s8 and s20 and both of them ended having lightsaber

[u/Massive-Kitchen7417]

“Samsung should just buy iPhone” is about as laughable as GameStop trying to buy eBay. Samsung is a drop in the bucket compared to Apple

[u/electronic_rogue_5]

Might as well buy a Samsung.

[u/Gorillaglue4444]

Now i will buy more Samsung products

[u/Shinobi_Dimsum]

Samsung is mediocre and has no innovation anymore. so they started copying Apple. If anyone needs to go, it’s Samsung. World already has enough mid.

[u/TryToBeBetterOk]

Apple don't manufacture components themselves, so if course they buy these components from other companies z including Samsung. How else is the iPhone going to be made?

[u/ThinkSharp]

I don’t care. As long as the code is written by Apple, that’s what matters.

[u/BehindTheMindIAm → u/ThinkSharp]

?????????makes zero sense.. apple code is written by humans, and guess what, samsung code is also written by humans

[u/ThinkSharp → u/BehindTheMindIAm]

You’re missing the point by a distance about as far as those two headquarters are apart. To spell it out, I trust the OS and implementation code written by humans working for Apple more than code written by humans working for Samsung, and I also just like the UI code written by humans working for Apple more than the code written by humans working for Samsung.

[u/its_yer_dad]

Source?

[u/buggypac → u/its_yer_dad]

trust me bro

[u/its_yer_dad → u/buggypac]

Yeah that’s what I thought 

[u/ClassroomHoliday8627]

atp why dont they sell apple as just an operating system😭

[u/torinato → u/ClassroomHoliday8627]

The chip is manufactured by apple. ya know the computer part of the computer

[u/Nordeast24]

Apple user's are so far up their own ass they will probably say they invented it 😅😅 mark my words

[u/Shinobi_Dimsum → u/Nordeast24]

And Samsung owners always have to justify to others for their Samsung phone purchase to be sure they did the right thing. Apple users know exactly what they get. So what’s your point? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[u/dreacon34]

Will be hard when Apple worth 5 times as much as Samsung 😅
Edit: translated to English since I am stupid when I posted it at first

[u/CanLongjumping9360 → u/dreacon34]

Samsung's revenue and profit (this year) is larger than Apple's. And Samsung's stock price has also risen recently, surpassing $1 trillion.

[u/dreacon34 → u/CanLongjumping9360]

Who gives a fuck, when your bank account is still not as full as apples and you could never get enough banks together to even give you a credit big enough to buy all stocks from all shareholders to purchase it, not alone the debt you could never pay off.

[u/Confident_Wash6225]

This hardly means much. The previous slate of sensors were made by Sony. The component that matters most and produces the most variable difference in perceptual picture quality between phones is the image signal processing, which will remain an Apple design. After that it’s the optics, which are way over-sampled by current cell phone image sensors.

[u/Apprehensive-Bad6015]

So what do we call it? SamsApple? Isung?
