Industry insiders revealed: “Samsung’s DS division initially aimed to increase the price by 60%. In the first round of negotiations, they tried to test the waters by proposing a 100% increase, but unexpectedly, Apple accepted directly to secure inventory, and the price was finalized.” (Science and Technology Board Daily)
