Comments on: Uneasy partners: Samsung reportedly raises processor prices on Apple http://gigaom.com/2012/11/12/uneasy-partners-samsung-reportedly-raises-processor-prices-on-apple/ Sat, 25 May 2013 06:11:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Andre Goulet http://gigaom.com/2012/11/12/uneasy-partners-samsung-reportedly-raises-processor-prices-on-apple/#comment-1171558 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:32:46 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=583442#comment-1171558 I don’t believe this. If you believe this, that would also mean that you believe that Apple is just now signing contracts for its 2013 purchases. No way Tim Cook is working purchasing in that short -sighted of a fashion.

But either way, it seems Samsung will get that lost billion dollars lost in the lawsuit, one way or the other.

But this is why these lawsuits are ultimately bad for us, the consumers. Samsung will get their money back, and Apple will get the higher prices on the processors back, too, either by selling the phone at a higher price, charging the carrier more for it, or using cheaper components than they otherwise would’ve used, to increase their profit and make that money back.
