LG Superfan, 20 Sep 2018I wonder how much profit Xiaomi makes with PocophoneThat phone is build and logistics around 180$ and is sold at 300$ so very low profit
They want to sell a lot and take the android market with that kind of phone

LG Superfan, 20 Sep 2018I wonder how much profit Xiaomi makes with PocophoneProbably less than 1% of that Apple earned 62% of the global phone profits in Q2, if not even lesser.
Consider how overpriced the iPhones are!

Apple sells more than phones and fast gadgets, they sell a totally different lifestyle experience and the numbers show that people want to be a part of that.

Is Counterpoint a rebrand of Apple's old propaganda statisticians at IDC? Always posting pro-Apple "stats".

Back in 2015 it was posted that Apple had 92% of the profits, and lots of Apple users were going around that no one is making money off of Android. Nowadays this article is saying that Apple has now 62% of the profits. So I guess some Android OEMS are making money after all. I guess not as much greedy money that Apple makes.
Also the last quarter 374 million smartphones sold, and Apple sold 44.7 million iPhones for 11.9% of the market share for third spot. Huawei took Apple's 2nd spot with 48.3 million. Samsung took 1st spot again. Androids total market share was 88.1%.

In smartphone, you either make money in hardware or service. Google makes all its money from service as well as Xiaomi while Samsung, LG, HTC fight out with lesser brands for money in hardware. Apple is the only company that makes money from hardware and software

Apple haters will find a way to make a joke out of this. Stop the hate, every brand is good on their own aspects

Slowly even uneducated drug dealer wannabes are starting to realize that a smartphone is not a BLING BLING element. They are starting to buy rational smartphones like the Oneplus and spend the extra 5-600$ on real BLING around their neck or their fingers.
That profit will go in line with Android manufacturers in a few years.

Duel83, 20 Sep 2018But that phone doesn't run iOS, why you Android fans can't ... moreNo no no my good man, im not saying that Apple is a bad company or that iOS is bad, in the contrary, I meant that because Apple doesn’t have competitors in the iOS realm they can put the price they want, and it doesn’t matter cuz Apple is still a big thing in the phone market because of their unique OS
PS. I used to be Apple but for more spects I changed to Android but still I love both

People don't buy iPhone because Apple logo, they buy it because they are rounded by happy iPhone users who recommend the phone, it's been like this since beginning, that's just sad excuse from Android boys.

Maybe if Huewai and Xaiomi started adding more LTE bands to their phones they could get some of that profit. And ideally a better camera.

Walter C. Dornez, 20 Sep 2018What do you mean by that?I think he meant that is the statistic of how many people waste money in smartphones (iphone) more expensive because of a logo than the actual usage, then for him calling them ¨idiots¨. And im quite with him, many people in the market buy Apple more or less because is a premium brand, and not because the actual spects of the phones, for example the budget pocophone has more to offer than an iphone for a fraction of the cost but because of the logo, its not so well… ¨famous¨ may I say
