The brains of the Samsung smartphone is the Android operating system that was originally developed by Android and later sold to Google...... Apple users there own operating system.
Im sure not every part in the Samsungs are made by Samsung.
Samsung is a manufacturer of microprocessors used in many other brands, they might make the microprocessors but the architecture may be owned by a third party and used under license.
Apple also uses parts from Broadcom, Texas Instruments and STmicro.... Foxconn make the phones for Apple and source their parts from various leading manufacturers.
Foxconn also make many other leading brand consumer electronics for many of the big names..... and like the iPhone they would source parts from everywhere.
Ford make parts for Holden and Toyota as does Holden for Ford and Toyota....... and Toyota makes parts for Holden and Ford.
This has been going on for years and years in manufacturing.
