Apple has managed to become the most valuable company in the world, working in the technology sector. In addition, the company has a large cash reserves, which are measured over a hundred billion dollars, and that a lot of money is haunted by the envious and activist investors.
Market share is generally measured in number of product units sold, or in terms of the proceeds from their sale. However, Strategy Analytics experts decided to measure different characteristics of the smartphone market - participants generated an operating profit. This quantity should demonstrate how much money goes into the pockets of market participants.
In the fourth quarter of last year, smartphone makers have increased the total operating profit by 31.4% compared to the same period last year, to $ 21.2 billion. It is only natural that 89% of these funds went to Apple, and all supporters of Android content by only 11% of the total amount. Revenues manufacturers of smartphones running Windows Phone and BlackBerry are negligible. By the way, a year ago the share of profits in the segment of Android reached 29%, so the current decline to 11% can be attributed to the expansion of low-cost smartphones, almost unprofitable. Apple, once again, for the year increased the share of profits from 71% to 89%. Related Products :
