alexalex Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Apple Headed for 60 Percent of Handset Industry Operating Profits With the iPhone, Apple is doing to the smartphone business what it has done to the PC business with the Mac: Generating a disproportionate share of profits relative to revenue. In its third quarter, Apple captured more than half of the handset industry?s overall operating profits ? 52 percent, according to Canaccord Genuity analyst T. Michael Walkley. And it managed it with only a 4.2 percent global handset unit market share. With iPhone sales trending the way they are, and some of Apple?s larger rivals losing traction as they are, Cupertino is poised to claim an even larger share of those profits in the December quarter.... So, what good are those huge Android sales numbers if there is little to no profit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
