Apple patent wins could mean U.S. import ban for Samsung

[TM99]

12. Apple is doing everything

it can to distance themselves from needing Samsung parts. They are also suing for all patents that they can whether they should or not. Finally, they are making certain that they do not have to follow any of Samsung's patents.

Samsung does not need Apple. As you correctly say, Apple did need them, but they will try and do it with other sources plus their own fabs. Without Obama and the courts though, I sincerely doubt having watched Apple since their inception, if they could maintain this level of popularity and fiscal growth.
