Why did Samsung Burned 150000 of its Own Phones ?
Samsung made about $80 billion in three months, and its phone business still lost money. 📱🔥
Before it made phones, TVs or chips, Samsung sold dried fish. This video follows the whole wild ride: a 1938 shop in Daegu, a war, a deal with a general, a chip bet everyone called crazy, the day the chairman set 150,000 of his own phones on fire, the Apple war, exploding batteries, a family in and out of court, and a comeback powered by AI.
Things most people don't know about Samsung:
→ For years, many GE microwaves in American kitchens were built by Samsung
→ It sued Apple and supplied Apple's iPhone parts at the same time
→ The rival that beat it in AI memory started out as Hyundai's chip division
→ It's building AI chips for Tesla in Taylor, Texas
