Gunjandeep, 05 Jun 2017Apple with 11-12 % market share has over 80% of Profit. Tha... more"Apple with 11-12 % market share has over 80% of Profit. That gives a DAMN clear idea about how overpriced Apple products are."

Can you please tell me what other company can sell average 50 million high end phones every q?

Samsung profits margins and sony htc etc would be very big if they could sell 40 million high end phones in one q.

When Galaxy S4 was huge hit Samsung collected 40% of profits, you can't make much profit by selling low end android phones.

    Who cares about their profits? What important is, you can send a file via Bluetooth on Android devices.

      If Samsung saved the 9 billion it used on marketing they would have a higher profit margin

        So 83% in profilts, yet they only have new 2 devices out a plain one and a plus. The irst one with a shitty battery, even.

        Apple is the only major brand that doesn't have more than 720-750p on a sub 5.2" device.
        Not much new features to boost with TBH.

              But yet still in second place in the market. Not even in the top ten in the camera department. Not even in the top twenty in the battery department. And dead last in the engineering department.

                They supposed to dominate this around 90% of the total profits, now it is down significantly, though still Apple is making more profits! Lets see how the downward spiral goes from here.

                    So what does it mean ? It means that Apple customers pay the a lot of money for low value products, so Apple can take home the difference :)
