Because they bought an entire company to do it with, because the value proposition of doing that was better than continuing to pay the Qualcomm tax, or conversely siding with Samsung to bring Exynos LTE to the US (and they already have too much of a complex relationship with Samsung; to the point that even on the iPhone 8 and X, if you bought an iPhone instead of a Galaxy S, Samsung still makes a profit).
- davrosthedalek 9y agoAs in: they earn more if an iPhone X is bought than if a S8 is bought? If not, do you know the relative size of the profit?
- DiabloD3 9y agoNot more, afaik, although some headlines seem to have reported it. All I know is Samsung is happy no matter if you buy an S8 or an X.
