The idea that they could suits the revenge wishes of the Apple-haters, but is so divorced from reality that it shows to what extent they're willing to believe anything so long as it lines up with their prejudices.
Not sure what you are trying to say. Are you saying someone fabricated the story? If so, who?

Obviously, either this was a newly agreed-to contract extension, OR, Samsung was allowed to alter prices at some interval in the existing contract based upon certain criteria which they obviously met. What their motives were is irrelevant, so long as they stayed within the parameters of the contract.

Bottom line, there is nothing fishy about the original story as reported. LOL indeed.
