Samsung and Apple can be considered the Muhammed Ali and Joe Frazier of the tech industry. Like the two great boxers, the Korea-based giant and the Cupertino-based tech leader both aim to defeat the other.

The release of the new handset from the American tech giant hurt Korean company's profits and market share. On the other hand, it does not end the battle between the two because no one wants to surrender.
