Doesn't Samsung make a bunch of parts for the iPhone?

  If so that’s kind of insane to think about the market dynamics where that makes sense.

    Samsung makes everything that can be made on Earth, so it's hard for Apple to avoid. And why would Samsung refuse to make profits on iPhones?

      Those aren't necessarily the same business/P&L just because they're all called Samsung either, so it's natural for them to compete with each other. (Sure they're owned by the same people, but Apple and Google are also owned by the same people - American 401k providers.)

        Samsung is a conglomerate - the various Samsung businesses are separate, but they are affiliated in deeper way than just having the same investors.

    Samsung's chip department is likely very far from their phone department. They make everything, basically, some say they even run a country.
