Take your example and substitute Apple for Intel and others for Nvidia. (If your example is correct). Apple is in the power position because like any great marketing/branding corporation if pays far less for putting it's name on a product than it receives when people buy that product. If Samsung and the others were truly getting a worse deal than they could get at without Apple's branding then they wouldn't supply Apple. At the very least they're probably putting more value on the supposed certainty of cash flows coming in from doing business with Apple if they are a supplier. Businesses hate nothing more than uncertainty so while Apple may be upsetting them...I guess Apple hasn't done enough to make them change their evaluation of doing business.
