Apple designs the software, the hardware industrial design, the circuit boards, the processor and even the screens. Samsung merely manufactures things, and does not design the software (for android phones) or the CPU etc.
But of course what matters on this site is bashing apple and pretending like they suck, even if you have to redefine terms like "Vertically integrated" and be snide about it.
- nl 16y agoActually, Samsung does all that (including as much CPU design as Apple does: http://hothardware.com/News/Analysts-Confirm-Apples-A4-Similar-to-Samsung-CPU/ http://hothardware.com/News/Analysts-Confirm-Apples-A4-Simil... ) except for the core Android software. However, they do have Badu, which is their own custom OS. I was genuinely puzzled what you meant by "vertically integrated". Now at least I understand what you are talking about - I still don't think that's a conventional definition of vertical integration - but my response wasn't trying to be snide.
- rdouble 16y agoApple is "forward" vertical integration.
