      Only difference is that apple is spending a lot on R&D because they design their SoC and their own OS. Compared to say Huawei who are let’s face it just copying from the big boys. I don’t think Huawei is spending nearly as much on R&D so they still make a lot of profit.

                      This is why it is not a profitable market. With the exception of Apple and few others, every unit sold by these companies makes them lose some money.

                                What about the cost of accessories bundled with these phones?

                                Samsung is giving a fast charger and AKG earphones while apple is not even giving a fast charger.

                                I think those costs should reflect in such charts.

                                  Hm... makes sense
