Apple or samsung; Σύμφωνα με τα τεχνολογικά νέα που κυκλοφορούν οι μεγάλες τεχνολογικές Companies they compete and hate each other. Don't be so sure…
Of course, Samsung wants to sell more phones, but it is making money when Apple has more iPhone. Google is paid when Apple sells more iCloud subscriptions and Amazon wins as long as Netflix continues to grow.
Does it sound strange? Perhaps, but it also means something else. All of these companies are not only competitors: they are also customers of each other.
iPhone X: From Samsung, Toshiba, Intel and Texas Instruments
The iPhone X may be Samsung's most profitable phone.
Apple can build the iPhone X, but Samsung is making the OLED screen that makes it so much so. The cost of the screen is 100 dollars. Add 100 dollars with some other Samsung parts and you will come close to the view of some analysts who believe Samsung earns more than any iPhone X sale despite every sale of the Galaxy S8 - around $ 130 per device.
Regardless of whether this is true or not, every iPhone X sold is profitable for Samsung, as described in the Nerdwriter video below:
It should be noted here that Samsung is not the only tech company that has components inside the iPhone X. Its Mark Gurman bloomberg he says that Intel and Quallcomm provide two modems, Toshiba provides the flash storage and Texas Instruments one or two different components. Yes: The iPhone X was partly built by Apple.
Η Apple, φυσικά ανταγωνίζεται με αυτές τις εταιρείες, αλλά αυτό δεν την εμποδίζει να αγοράζει τα εξαρτήματά τους. Το iPhone είναι το καλύτερο τηλέφωνο που πωλείται κάθε χρόνο και η Apple συνεργάζεται με όποιον μπορεί να προσφέρει την καλύτερη price για τα ανταλλακτικά που χρειάζονται στην κατασκευή του – ακόμα και στους αντιπάλους της.
Google hosts Apple's iCloud service, Spotify and Evernote
If you use iCloud because you do not trust Google, news will not like: iCloud data has been stored by Google for years. Apple does not advertise it, but 2016 has begun to use the Google Cloud platform to host the service.
This makes sense as Google can offer much cheaper storage even if Apple creates its own cloud servers. Apple is not the only company that uses Google storage space: Spotify and Evernote are also paying Google for storage, according to Google.
Yes: Google hosts Spotify, Google Music's main rival. It also hosts Evernote, which competes with Google Keep. And they host iCloud, which competes with both Google Photos and Google Drive for subscribers. Whatever service you use, Google is the one that gets paid.
Amazon hosts virtually all other services.
Η Google δεν είναι όμως ο μεγαλύτερος παίκτης στο παιχνίδι του Cloud χώρου αποθήκευσης. Αυτός ο τίτλος ανήκει στον Amazon, της οποίας τα websites Services παρέχουν τουλάχιστον μία υπηρεσία από αυτές που χρησιμοποιείτε καθημερινά.
Netflix is one of the largest Amazon Web Services customers. Hulu and PBS also use Amazon to view videos. Reddit, Airbnb, Lyft and Dropbox are also hosted on Amazon Web Services. And even if you do not use any of these apps, some of the pages you opened today are on Amazon S3.
So Amazon, which is almost invisible to the average user of the Internet, wins annually around 17,4 billion dollars.
Foxconn manufactures virtually everything
Το Playstation 4, το Nintendo Switch και το XBox One κατασκευάζονται από την ίδια εταιρεία. Το ίδιο συμβαίνει και με το iPhone, το Kindle και τους φορητούς υπολογιστές από εταιρείες όπως η Dell, Toshiba και HP.
Η εταιρεία Foxxcon, έχει πάρα πολλά εργοστάσια στην ηπειρωτική China, και κέρδισε πέρυσι 131 δισ. δολάρια από την κατασκευή προϊόντων για άλλες εταιρείες. Μάλλον έχετε ακούσει για αυτήν την εταιρεία, πιθανώς λόγω των φοβερών συνθηκών εργασίας και των αυτοκτονιών των εργαζομένων.
Although Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft are fighting for their console supremacy, a company can win regardless of the product.
Έτσι είναι αρκετά safe να πούμε ότι οι τεχνολογικές εταιρείες ανταγωνίζονται, αλλά και συνεργάζονται.
It's easy, like user of these products, to think in a black-white way. Maybe you like Google and Android or think Apple is a terrible company. But tech companies don't think in those terms, because each depends on the other to build their products and deliver their services.
Be careful what you will say the next time you talk to someone using a different platform.
