But Apple orders have been trending down and Samsung is making up for the reduced order from others, notably Samsung's own handset business
So, Samsung is making up for reduced parts orders by their competition by selling parts to themselves in order to go up against said competition? Or did I get that corporate doublespeak wrong?

Yeah, right, Apple's a real class act, that bunch.
