> Why can't they let their products sell and speak for themselves? The original iPhone was banned in South Korea for two years. It seems that this was to give South Korean companies a chance to catch up.

But the original iPhone was banned from South Korea for 2 years, almost certainly at Samsung's behest.

> their actions seem to be deliberately designed to suppress the market and suppress competition But then why aren't people on HN down on Samsung in the same way?

Oh, there was also the little incident where foreign phones were blocked from South Korea, including the original iPhone for two years.

How do you feel about Samsung's behavior?

Great post. I am in South Korea. I could be imprisoned for the the things I have written here about Samsung and their owning family.

Why did the union keep demanding more and more? Why didn't management just make all employees joint owners of the company?

To be fair, Samsung almost certainly had a hand in banning the original iPhone for two years in South Korea.

Apple don't make that many products themselves. If the Samsung Galaxy S Note S2 Ultra S is banned in the US, consumers will still be able to buy the Samsung Galaxy S Note S2 Ultra X. When Samsung had the South Korean government block the or

You can hardly take the ethical high-ground if you've been buying Samsung products.

Why do companies from other countries stand little chance of being successful in the US? Developed Asian countries do do as much as they can to block US companies; that's the problem. South Korea is being protected by the US, but they ar

What do you classify as 'xenophobia'? How can I avoid falling victim to it? How can I make my arguments more rational in future? For what it's worth, I have lived in Asia for several years, speak three languages, and my opinions are influ

I agree about patents, but Samsung have some terrible business practices too. We need to get rid of these kinds of patents and find new ways to protect US (or European, whatever) companies so that we don't keep getting screwed over by Asian

Yeah but my parent poster described Apple as a bully, when Samsung initiated this whole thing.

by v0cab 14y ago
And how about Samsung? Their business practices are disgusting.

Consumers are also people who need jobs. If Asian companies can just clone our products and block our products from sale in their countries, there will be fewer jobs for Americans, Europeans and Australians.

Let us remember that Samsung have the South Korean government in their pocket, and they already acted to stop the iPhone from being sold for two years in South Korea when it was released, to give Samsung a chance to catch up and make more m

Apple created something new. Samsung had it blocked from South Korea for two years so that they could clone it. Samsung freeloaded on Apple's innovation -- Apple barely had first mover advantage. I'm not a huge fan of patents either but w

The 'jail' is beneficial in that it allows high-quality apps to be made. If iOS users could just install apps from anywhere, piracy would mean a reduction in the quality and quantity of apps that developers are willing to make for it. Even
