Fascinating idea with a lot of obvious synergies. But isn't the fact that their products are completely incompatible cause a number of problems that would be too difficult to overcome? $AAPL$SNE
So #Apple$AAPL will continue to bleed its US customers while giving sweet deals to the Chinese who know the Iphone is no longer a status symbol, but is in fact inferior to Huawei and Samsung.
