It seems that so many people on the internet are still struggling to understand your logic - US putting Chinese companies in their Entity List and China kicking out US services out of their mainland are entirely different actions that can no way be compared in any way.

China only banned Facebook, WhatsApp,Twitter due to their fear of Western orchestrated attempts to destabilize political situation like they do in all places. Of Course China is no different when itvcomes to protecting it's interest. But iPhones and Android mobiles are sold in China, no specific ban on devices. More than the USA ban, Play Store Ban in Huawei, ARM licensing ban etc...forcing Huawei to limit it's sales. Apple and Qualcomm cartels have clear undue advantage over Huawei hence these numbers are meaningless...

          And play store isn't allowed in China, what's your point?

          "Samsung benefiting from this is purely incidental. Even Samsung would have felt the shock without Huawei ban."

          No it's not Samsung is now getting back what they lost in few last years because Huawei stole whole lot of sales from Samsung. Samsung already felt the Huawei shock in big way. And now because Huawei can't compete Samsung is getting it's sales back. Again all this have around zero effect to Apple because they have iPhone with iOS. If people wan't iPhone they aren't interested about Huawei or Samsung phones, they are only interested about iPhone with iOS.

Now they are banned almost in all major markets! Thanks to Qualcomm and Apple!! Samsung benefiting from this is purely incidental. Even Samsung would have felt the shock without Huawei ban.

              Nice joke! :D Huawei been number one or two in EU for many years and only who sales they ate was Samsung, htc, LG and Sony. This whole time Apple been really strong and no noticable drop in sales. Why would Huawei eat Apple if Samsung couldn’t do that already? You know iPhone runs iOS, right? If someone wants iOS phone Huawei isn’t choice, neither Samsung. But when people buy Samsung they also see Huawei and they might buy Huawei instead because it also runs Android, get it?

                        How this is any different what others do? Difference is here that Apple sells average 200 million iPhones yearly. Quite different than others who sell ten millions high-end phones yearly, or Samsung who might sell 30 million. How much you think Samsung would make money or LG yearly if they could sell 150 million their high-end phones yearly? Just checked Note 20 ultra parts cost $463 and they sell the phone for $1299.

                        Apple is so big because they have built the whole ecosystem which prints money all the time. It took them over ten years to do that, it’s not like they got anything free. They came to market with product people laughted and said no-one going to buy that, and end is history and it’s only just a begin for Apple journey.

                        They became so profitable because they have such a great products which people,want to use.

And the majority of that money comes from just one device (iphone). Because they are selling it double the amount of money they are producing it.
                          Other companies make a 200EUR phone and they sell it with 250EUR or 300EUR. Apple, makes a phone with 400EUR and they sell it with 800-1000EUR. That's why they became the most profitable company in the world. Not by carrying about its customers, for sure.
                          Sadly, that other people can't see this.
