Foxonn CEO: iPhone 5 will put the Galaxy S III to Shame
Foxconn's CEO, Terry Gou,
revealed an intent to overtake Samsung in every
electronics-manufacturing way imaginable within 5 years.Foxconn recently
bought stake in a Sharp LCD screens plant, and it is precisely this
partnership it hopes will give it an edge over Samsung's technology.
Terry
Gou went so far as to say that Sharp is three years ahead of Samsung in
its 10th generation screen plant, perhaps focusing on the IGZO
technology that the Japanese have developed, and which is making debut
in the Resolutionary display of the new iPad. Moreover, he fleetingly
mentioned that people should wait for the iPhone 5, as it will put the Galaxy S III to shame.
The whole tirade about the war on Samsung went on when the CEO was announcing the partnership with Sharp as a done deal. "Snitches get stitches" is apparently the driving force behind this animosity towards Samsung, as the Koreans played the role of "tainted witness", exempt from an European Commission investigation into LCD price fixing.
According to Terry Gou Samsung is "a company that has a track record of snitching on its competitors". His capitalistic heart was apparently too broken to have anything to do with them, so he turned over to Sharp: "I
respect the Japanese and especially like their execution and
communication styles. Unlike the Koreans, they will not hit you from
behind."
