Apple is worth many billions more than Samsung. And Sony could never buy Apple, they are much, much bigger than Sony. Apple was contemplating the purchase of Sony a few years ago actually. Samsung will never be bigger than Apple because first of all the majority of their profits come from Apple! Apple is Samsung's biggest customer because they manufacture the processors, graphics chips, and other components for the iPhones, iPods, and iPads. If Apple were to totally cut them off which they wil be soon when they switch to Intel chips for the iPhone, it would be devastating. It will cut off Samsung's money supply which they need for marketing, design, research, new technologies, etc. The only reason Samsung is as big as it is today is because of Apple. Apple also has a slew of new products on the way with the Apple TV set (likely to put a dent in Samsung TV marketshare), the rumored iWatch, new iPhones coming to China mobile which is the biggest carrier in China. The only direction Apple can go is up, Apple gets bigger and bigger every day.
