            What you think, if bike company sells ten bikes and car company one car, which one makes more profit?

            No-one else doesnt sell high end phones the amount like Apple. Samsung profits dropped because their galaxy S5 was flop. Before S5 samsung made lot more profit because very good S4 sales.

Market share between OS is dumb, and says nothing because one OS is one company and the other is multiple companies.

                Also, without profits, a company shrivels up and dies, which is why it is a very important factor in analysis.

                Profit to sales, acid test, liquidity ratios etc all use profit as part of the equation.

                  Silly apple sheeple read apple 88% Boom! Android got served lollllll
                  Typical apple sheeple...
                  Its profit peeps we all know that apples profit margin is by far highest from what the phone actually costs to make and its recommend retail price. Apples sheeple will buy just about anything
                  Nothing surprising
                  shoulda saved some of that cash and bought some proper reading glasses

                      There was one house! In that one robot was eating apple. Apple was so sweet but when the robot feared of darkness in that room, it ran away from that house. Jumped from the windows and thrown that Apple in to the darkness! There was only one thing available now..... WINDOWS!

                        If you calculate money made by google though advertisement on apps then the picture will be different.

                        I feel pity for islaves who think apple making outrageous profit is a good thing. No wonder they are buying apple.

                              This is a ridiculous statistic. iPhones are priced so much more than the manufacturing cost that probably one iPhone sold makes at least twice as much profit as that of an average Android.What should be used to measure is, how many iPhones and Androids were sold and compare the two. This just proves that Apple is good at fooling people to buy ridiculously overpriced gadgets. Not something to be proud of.

                                Android fanboys can brag how Android has "captured" 97% of the mobile malware market.

                                Come on, only 3% to go!

                                    I think it's safe to make an assumption on Apple haters analysis strength.

                                    The top Apple hater scientists by the way have been working round the clock to come to their latest conclusion:

                                    2015 Apple is doomed

                                        iHaters always bring so many useless arguments to the table. This article is purely about money and business and the numbers don't lie.

                                        Android OEMs would love to have Apple's business and we all know it. And they would all copy Apple's model if they could but they can't.
