Foxconn CEO says iPhone 5 will put Samsung's Galaxy S III 'to shame'
War of words
According to Terry Gou, the CEO of manufacturer Foxconn, the next iteration of Apple's iPhone (which Gou's firm will manufacture) will put Samsung's flagship Galaxy S III smartphone "to shame".
For those of you unfamiliar with Gou and his corporate strategy, Foxconn's chief executive has made it his mission to 'defeat' the South Korea-based Samsung - a company that has a "track record of snitching on its competitors."
Gou's rather bitchy comment refers to Samsung's decision in 2010 to report four Taiwanese companies that were being investigated over a price-fixing scandal.
Given that Apple will likely launch the iPhone 5 in either September or October, we haven't got too long to wait to discover whether Gou is right or not about the next iPhone putting the Galaxy S III in the shade.
