If Samsung doesn't catch wind of the new component or can't study it until it's released to the public then Apple is still ahead until Samsung can duplicate the manufacturing process. They are good at copying but some things just take time, how long I'm not sure (but am curious if anyone here does know).
Samsung don't copy technology from from Apple, despite their designs being somewhat... inspired by them. They're up there with everyone else battling on the forefront of component development, e.g. bright colorful S-AMOLED displays, better camera sensors, etc.

Yes, to be fair that's not made by Samsung. Since everyone else is speculating though... I agree their hand in its creation was probably non-trivial.
