Apple’s COO, Tim Cook has confirmed that despite them suing Samsung’s Electronics and Mobile Communications division, they will still continue to maintain a strong relationship as a component buyer.
Apple reckons Samsung as a “valued component supplier” and will continue to buy LCD panels and semiconductors from them.
Cook also said that they tried to work this issue for some time but they had to “rely on the courts” after Samsung “crossed the line.”
Apple sued Samsung for copying iPhone and iPad hardware designs and some elements from the user interface.
