Re: @DougS I am not sure that Samsung needed to do any such pricing inducements.
The alternative side of the negotiation word have been Apple knowing that the Samsung mobile sales tanking is hurting the entire group and that Apple could fill up both some of the slack demand as a result of Sammy mobile needing to scale back production, and are more able to withstand short term supply constraints by limiting demand in various markets.
Whichever way it went I would love to have been a fly on the wall....
