    AnonD-27765, 29 Oct 2013Samsung sell more phones considering they flood the market ... moreYou really dont know how the market and business work, do you think samsung will just ship millions of phones for no reason? they ship phones if there is demand for it, if they just ship phones for no reason they will lose money.

    and where did you got the information that apple has made more profit than samsung????

    samsung made phones for the poor, the middle class and the rich, yet your praising apple because they only target the rich people?

        Well, think of it this way... Sony phones are rare, which is good.

            Samsung sold 88 million smartphones, Apple only sold 33 million.

            And Samsung made more net profits ($8.7 billion USD) than Apple ($8.5 billion USD). Samsung crushed Apple in operating profits as well.

            Looks like Apple is losing steam.

                    Samsung sell more phones considering they flood the market by releasing new variants of the same phone every month. We already know this. But Apple earn the most profit from selling only one phone each year. Apple devices are not meant to be at the hands of every person anyway. They are only catered to the rich and affluent. There are more poor people than rich that's why more Samsung phones are sold than iPhones.
