We know that Apple and Samsung are rivals in the smartphone market, always looking for each company to increase its segment of customers. But it seems that besides being both rivals, they also have business together.
Yes, while Apple celebrates the success of sales of the iPhone X, the gains also go to Samsung, since thanks to the production of parts for the iPhone X, it will have profits that are around 4 billion dollars, a larger amount than to produce the same parts for the Galaxy S8.
Samsung will receive 110 USD for every iPhone X sold.
What parts did Samsung produce for the iPhone X?
Samsung made the chips OLED, NAND flash e DRAM for this iPhone. At the moment, it is the only company able to manufacture these items in the volume that Apple needs, which means that Apple has to buy the parts in Samsung.
So if Apple sells in a way analysts are predicting that this will happen, it means that Samsung will collect for its coffers the total of the value similar to that already mentioned above.
