The two companies had been in a legal dispute for seven years, and it finally appears that they were not that far from reaching an agreement. Now with all that has rained since then This agreement is made official in which the Cupertino company will be financially rewarded, but not with the amount that was requested from the beginning.
Both firms had a serious problem with the violation of patents that the South Koreans had supposedly skipped, finally everything is settled with an agreement on the total amount of money that Apple will charge, yes, there is no data on this figure officially.
Apple and Samsung have always been close but now more
We cannot discuss the "love-hate" relationship between the two firms, since they have always been rivals. What is clear is the distance between the two companies has been reduced over time and today we are not afraid to say that both firms need each other, for better or for worse. The screens of the iPhone X are manufactured by SamsungWhile it is true that it is not really the same company that makes the Galaxy devices and the rest of the company's models, it is still Samsung. Other components of the iPhone have been manufactured by the South Koreans, but currently other firms such as LG also dispute part of the pie that Apple offers.
Samsung has publicly acknowledged using Apple's patents in its first Galaxy models, Apple also wanted them to pay for all the R&D that Apple needed in its early days to launch the iPhone that Samsung took advantage of, but finally the agreement has been made and this is what really matters, we can say that the soap opera is over for now and both firms will be satisfied after the unofficial agreement made.
