Three ways to make a profit:
1. Lots of sheep!
2. Make a bazillion slightly different devices.
3. Lawsuits.

Good to see Nokia doing weel.Looks like going with windows was the right choice.Is so good and you can get loads of free apps and has loads of removable storage and very customisable.NOT!

The best days of the industry where when Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola were the only names in town. I blame excessive American influence in the market for killing it (Apple, Google, Microsoft I'm talking to you).

Andrea, 04 May 2012Apple killed the mobile phone market.
We have less healthy... moreWell said - the mobile phone market is dull at the minute. It used to be that phone manufacturers would release a variety of interesting products and form factors - now it is just the same boring slabs were most will not dare to deviate from looking like an iPhone.
Even HTC are abandoning QWERTY. Apple must be opposed at all costs and no matter how good they are perceived ( they are crap IMO ) as Apple's monopolistic fashion brand is destroying the industry.
Thank God for Sony.

thats a big evidence that apple is selling nothing for hefty prices, nothing worth its value unlike others .

Just goes to show that people are stupid and the best products don't always sell. All you need is a reality distortion field, a pretentious attitude and a pathetic media willing to give you endless free advertising and hey presto: exploitative profits!

From my view, despite samsung sales are more than apple the apple is still the leader as they make more profit per phone they sell than samsung.. moreover i remember reading an article which says how apple is saving tax which is also an important part which has helped apple to be on top in terms of profit. I remember a point which says their product is manufactured and assembled in China and because of that they are saving an amount of tax to US.. but i doubt the same for samsung as it is done in the same country or neighbouring country.. so this can be the reason...

One thing missing on the graph the color of LG in the last quarter, where is LG? They only reported LG 2009 profits so LG is not a Mobile Company anymore?

SaltWater, 04 May 2012People be realistic!! You can't believe in everything your ... moreYour point could be valid.
However, leave aside the percentages, i have no doubt in believing that Apple makes more "profit" for the number of units they have sold.
Its known, stocks do rise and fall based on tips and rumours. i do not know the exact share price but according to your numbers 10% drop is acceptable considering that Apple did not introduce any great device this year. ( i am neglecting the new iPad, its neither upto apple's nor users expectations)

Anonymous, 04 May 2012Proof that Apple products are more overpriced, than other b... moreProof of samsung selling more cheap phones than theit flagship, of course if samsung sells over 50 million more phones than samsung it means they are selling cheap phone.
For example, Apple sold this year more iphone's than samsung their flagship ever. Of course Apple make lot more money if they sell only hi-end phones.
