Feel free to spin up a fab and undercut the current prices, I'd certainly appreciate it!

I don't know if I would personally fund such a venture though, for roughly the same reason existing manufacturers aren't expanding production.

If you did, then the big manufacturers would just sell a competitive product, at a loss if necessary, until you are driven out of business.

CXMT is about to reel in Apple as a customer and I don’t see Samsung doing a whole lot about it.
