I would much rather sue them than have them steal ideas from the best selling phone in history. Apple would have lost a ton more if they made Samsung continue to bite off them.

Doesn't change the fact that what goes around comes around. If Apple wants to play hard ball, they have found friends to play with. And I'm enjoying the show.

Reason is: I hate bullies. And Apple is a bully.

Most giant companies are bullies, even more so when someone steal their ideas. How hypocritical it is to call apple a bully for sueing Samsung but not say the same about Samsung for doing what they are doing.

I'm not picking sides, just want to expose the hypocrisy that the thread will promote. At the end of the day you are just the messenger, but you might have a thing for Samsung.

It's not hypocritical at all... smfh

The best way to deal with a bully is to punch him in the face. That's what Samsung did, and I'm very proud of them.

They should raise the price of the RAM that Apple buys from them, too. Fair play.

RAM and Flash memory are commodities, it's much easier to find them from other providers.

Hmm, this can only mean one thing, Apple fans will insist that Apple products are even better now that the price goes up!

More on topic; holy shit, that is hilarious!

Well, Samsung did not raise the price of the chip to get back at apple for sueing them, they did it because they fear that come 2014 when their contract with apple expire, they are anticipating that apple will move on to another chip manufacture. So they raise the cost 20% to capitalize on the short time they have left under contract with apple.
