Samsung Hits Apple With 20% Price Increase

Posted by samzenpus on from the pay-up dept.

EthanV2 writes "The Wall Street Journal cites a report which quotes a 'person familiar with negotiations between the two tech giants,' apparently confirming this special price hike for Apple. The source said: 'Samsung Electronics recently asked Apple for a significant price raise in (the mobile processor known as) application processor. Apple first disapproved it, but finding no replacement supplier, it accepted the [increase].'"

    Sad - even if I dislike Apple.

    Even if Apple doesn't play by the rules, Samsung should.

    I hope this is not a 'vendetta' but a sound and fair business decision.

    Howeve, I expect Apple to label it 'unfair' whatever Samsung's rationale was.

    Apple has lost all credibility a long time ago. Pray Samsung doesn't follow Apple's sullied path.
