Jeg gir deg alle kjedelige fakta så får du gjør deg opp din egen mening. I denne artikkelen bruker jeg kilder fra produsentene selv eller store kjente nyhetssider.

Apple historie:

Samsung historie:

http://global.samsungtomorrow.com/?p=13544

http://global.samsungtomorrow.com/?p=19311

Samsung og Apple satser på begge på åpen kilde kode:

http://www.apple.com/opensource/

http://opensource.samsung.com/

Dermed kan flere utvikle plattformen videre.

Apple har utviklere for IOS.

https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action

https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/

Samsung har utviklere for:

https://www.tizen.org/

http://www.android.com/

http://www.bada.com/

Så å sammenligne antall utviklere her blir feil. Det er ikke tatt med lengere ned i saken på tall.

Begge har Passbook:

http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/#passbook

http://developer.samsung.com/samsung-wallet-api

Begge satser på utdannelse:

http://www.apple.com/education/

http://www.samsung.com/us/business/by-industry/education/

http://www.apple.com/no/education/

Begge har masse patenter:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_top_United_States_patent_recipients

Samsung har hatt fra 2006 over 2000 nye patenter i året og har nå ca. 5000 i året.

http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/09/04/as-4g-patent-fight-looms-samsung-nearly-twice-many-lte-patents-apple/ Samsung har også nesten dobbelt så mange 4G patenter som Apple.

http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/27/samsung-received-the-most-mobile-patents-in-2012-now-leads-the-world-overall/ Samsung har også i 2012 laget flere patenter enn IBM og de har vært ledene på patenter i årevis.

Apple er registrert som nr 31 på patenter altså langt bak Samsung som er på topp.

http://www.redmondpie.com/this-graph-will-tell-you-how-many-patents-apple-holds-and-youll-be-shocked/

Så de saksøker for alt mulig, men har få patenter.

Begge selskap har egne butikker:

https://samsungdirect.bbymsolutions.com/static/best-buy-mobile-instore-pickup

http://www.samsung.com/au/samsungstore/

http://www.apple.com/retail/

Samsung har flere blogger der de oppdaterer folk. Det har ikke Apple.

http://www.samsungvillage.com/

http://global.samsungtomorrow.com/

Samsung har også sitt eget opplevelsessenter i Seol Koea.

Der får de se de siste hotte fra Samsung.

Samsung har også sitt eget innovasjons forum.

http://global.samsungtomorrow.com/?p=24484

Og en eget byområde i korea som de eier og kaller Samsung Digital City.

http://www.samsungvillage.com/blog/2011/02/follow-my-day-in-samsung-digital-city.html

Begge bruker store summer på advokater og søksmål mot hverandre:

Status Forbes global 500 2013:

http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/global500/2013/full_list/?iid=G500_sp_full

Samsung 14 plass.

Apple 19 plass.s

Forbes sier også at Samsung er verdens største it/data/tekniske firma.

http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/news/forbes-ranks-samsung-worlds-largest-tech-company/1939804/

Apple har vært på topp på den listen, men har falt ned mange plasser siden det.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/benzingainsights/2012/08/21/apple-now-most-valuable-company-in-history/

Hvem har minst feil på produktene sine?

http://www.rescuecom.com/news-press-releases/Computer-Reliability-Report-2013.aspx

Samsung nr 1.

Apple nr 6.

Her går det store summer og det ganger ikke forbrukerne.

Samsung kjøper også skjermer fra Corningglass.

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/samsung

De har også mange fabrikker innen forskning og design.
http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/foundry/design-solution/overview

Apple:

De eier flere store datasenter rundt om i verden.

Maiden, North Carolina, Data Center

To meet the energy needs of the Maiden data center with a renewable energy mix,

we embarked on an industry-leading program combining energy efficiency with

Apple-owned renewable energy projects and grid-purchased renewable energy.

Newark, California, Data Center

Early in 2012, we were granted regulatory approval to procure renewable energy directly

from the wholesale market for our Newark, California, data center through California’s

Direct Access program. Beginning in January 2013, we have been serving the data center

with 100 percent clean, renewable energy, sourced mostly from California wind.

Prineville, Oregon, Data Center

Our newest data center, currently under construction in Prineville, Oregon, will be every

bit as environmentally responsible as our Maiden data center. At Prineville, we have

access to enough local renewable energy sources to completely meet the needs of the

facility. To achieve this goal, we’re working with two local utilities as well as a number of

renewable energy generation providers to develop and purchase power from local

wind, solar, and micro-hydro resources. The micro-hydro projects will generate power

from water flowing through irrigation canals, which are already part of the agricultural

framework of Oregon.

Oregon allows the direct wholesale purchase of renewable energy through Direct

Access, and Apple is using this program to opt out of the default grid mix and access

local renewable energy sources directly.

Reno, Nevada, Data Center

Our next data center, to be located in Reno, Nevada, will also be every bit as

environmentally responsible as our Maiden data center. We will be making use

of the excellent natural solar radiation and geothermal resources in Nevada to

completely meet the energy needs of our data center.

Other Apple Facilities Worldwide

For nearly 10 years, we’ve purchased 100 percent renewable energy for our operations

center in Austin, Texas. Since then, we’ve added our operations centers in Elk Grove,

California, and Cork, Ireland, as well as our facility in Munich, Germany. In 2012, we added

most facilities across Australia to our list of sites procuring 100 percent renewable energy.3

Energy purchased for these sites comes from local or regional renewable energy projects.

Apple bruker også mange andre leverandører til delene til produktene sine, men her eier de ikke fabrikkene selv.

De har også oppført enda flere leverandører på denne listen:
http://images.apple.com/supplierresponsibility/pdf/Apple_Supplier_List_2013.pdf

Så den store forskjellen her er at Apple må låne fabrikker av andre, men de eier forskningsentere. mens Samsung eier mange fabrikker og forskningssentere. Så Apple er avhengig av mange leverandører.

Hvor mye tjener de?

Samsung:

http://bgr.com/2013/07/05/samsung-earnings-q2-2013-estimates/

8,3 milliarder. dollar i pluss i q2. Estimat.

Tallene blir offentliggjort 26 juli.

Samsung leder så langt og Apple ligger på 3 plass.

Her har vi Apple iPhone sin lansering. Mange mener den er historisk i ettertid også har vi presentasjon av Samsung Galaxy S. Galaxy serien er blitt hovedrivalen til Apple nå for tiden.

Apple:

Samsung:

Kjapp konklusjon ut av dette.

Samsung lager alt mulig og har fabrikker over hele verden.

Apple har datasenter over hele verden, men leier frabrikker, bortsett fra 1 fabrikk i texas.

Apple lager sin egen programvare.

Samsung bruker Google sin programvare på sine mobiler og nettbrett.

Begge har nok med penger til å uvikle seg videre.

De vil nok slåss om mobiltronen i mange år framover.
