Do japanese buy apple because its not korean?

I notice that even japan is a very technological advance country the majority of them still have flip phones and only recently started to switch over to smartphones. And when they do it is usually only iphones and not any other Korean manufacturing phones. Do you think they have too much pride buying something from someone who they considered inferior race to them. Or more of just hatred of Koreans and Korean products? Arguably Samsung makes some of the best tv, phones and so forth in the world; yet in japan the sales goes poorly? Like everywhere else around the world they sell a lot but not in japan. Do you know why? Not saying samsung is better than apple or vice versa, but why would some argue the most tech savvy nation in the world to lag so far behind in the smartphone trend?

All Asian people buy electronics, no matter the brand, from China. That's where they are all made.

Chinese also have tecnologies which are not shown in other countries.

The Japanese consider the Europeans to be inferior to the Koreans. So why would the Japanese buy Apple, which is made by Americans and Americans descend from Europeans. Samsung is much better than Apple, but Apple brainwashes people that their garbage is good. That's the problem.
