          AnonD-696746, 16 Feb 201890% to 75% would still be a big drop. Considering a general profit margin, I said minimum 75 % . It could very well be above 90 %

                    It is funny to see all apple fans bragging that apple has made a lot of revenue. You are the ones who are paying apple and buying into their overpriced devices. It just shows how much you lack common sense.

                                  Sonu4678, 16 Feb 2018It's really scary that you think like that. I wonder which world do you live in?In the world that the best selling android of 2017 was WORSE than its predecessor.

                                  Slightly better camera, practically identical performance (same ram amount, pretty much the same SoC), WORSE battery life, useless placement for the fingerprint sensor, pretty much a weaker iteration of their 2016 phone. And people *still* bought it in droves.

                                  That is what the android world reduced to.
                                  Most of the others had glaring problems too.

                                  Only Apple actually improved on her 2017 iteration on pretty much everything. The roles reversed...
