You have absolutely no concept of the difference between "leverage" and "extortion", the latter of which is exactly what you described. Last I checked, not only is extorting your customers bad for business, it's probably illegal. That being said, I'm going to dare throw an anti-Apple comment in here: after all the BS Apple's pulled in the past few years, I'm sure most people in the world wouldn't blink twice if Samsung did try to pull something like that (how would you feel if one of your clients tried to sue you?). Fortunately, I think Samsung is smart enough to not pull a stunt like that. And for what it's worth - "[...] Supply chain management at Apple's scale is unbelievably hard." How do you think Samsung feels?

" How do you think Samsung feels?" Samsung feels fine. They're making billions. Oh by the way, Samsung deserves everything they get from Apple. Since Samsung has been down this road before; TV, business phones - it's a long list of products Samsung copied, dumps onto the market and then hides behinds it's "culture". Meanwhile Samsung now has carved a foot hold in your market. Effective strategy. And it's worked for them for years. What I find funny is that it all goes around. Cause now Samsung is being copied by cheap Chinese knock-offs. Who are flooding the Chinese market.

The BS? Samsung copied their work...

  I'm sorry, but down opting this doesn't change the facts. Neither does portraying Samsung as an entirely innocent and hard-done-by party. They screwed their own pooch.
