Samsung is not a company in the American sense, it's more like a loose federation of related companies. Apple buy nothing from Samsung's mobile arm that they are in competition with. Apple do still buy some of their components from different arms of Samsung, but they are cutting back on that and spreading more of their business around other companies.
Although the iPhone is still assembled in China, some of it's most important components are actually made in the USA. The CPUs come from Texas, and the gorilla glass for the screens comes from Corning who I think are in Kentucky.
If you think the iPhone is the same as a Samsung except for the software you are very very wrong. Samsung make plastic phones, Apple prefer aluminium, gorilla glass, and stainless steel. The tolerances on the parts in an iPhone are staggeringly small - the devices almost feel like they were hewn from a single block of aluminium. I've not come across any other company that makes such solid feeling yet light products. The iPhone 5 is like some sort of voodoo, something that solid feeling should not feel that light!

+ Apple going to buy technology from LG from now, cause Samsung is turning a Jerk with them, It already started with Ipad Mini and New Series of Mac
