Michal Ždanský Despite the declining share of iOS among smartphone operating systems, Apple is still out of reach in terms of profits. More and more analysts refute the claim that the global share of mobile OS is in any way authoritative. The Californian company boasts the largest mobile app ecosystem in the world, despite having a share of less than 15%, and is still the preferred platform for developers when it comes to deciding which platform to develop for first.
After all, Android's biggest growth is at the low-end, where phones with this operating system often replace dumb phones in developing markets, where app sales generally don't do very well, so this growth is irrelevant for third-party developers. In the end, the key for the phone manufacturer is the profit from sales, the estimate of which was published yesterday by an analyst from Investors.com.
According to him, Apple accounts for 87,4% of all profits from the sale of phones in the world, which is a nine percent increase compared to last year. The remaining profit, specifically 32,2%, belongs to Samsung, which also improved by six percent. Since the sum of both shares is more than 100%, it means that other manufacturers on phones, whether dumb or smart, are losing, and not a little. HTC, LG, Sony, Nokia, BlackBerry, they all generated no profit on their earnings, on the contrary.
The development in China, which is still the fastest growing mobile phone market, is also interesting. Chinese manufacturers according to Investors.com they accounted for 30 percent of the world's turnover and 40 percent of the world's production of telephones. In general, growth is expected to slow down, which is currently below 7,5 percent, with double-digit growth for the last four years. However, this is true for phones in general, in contrast, smartphones are still growing at a significant rate at the expense of dumb phones.
those numbers don't add up :-)
it fits because the remaining brands have also losses kt. they are the rest :)
Of course it doesn't fit, it's nonsense. If the profit from the sale of mobile phones is 100 (example), it is 000% of the industry's profit. With the given numbers, the two companies would have a profit of 100%, i.e. 120 money.
And now explain to me how from the total profit of 100 of the entire industry, 000 companies can earn more than the ENTIRE profit? It just doesn't add up mathematically..
The fact that most companies do not produce a profit, but a loss, is completely irrelevant in this example. If I don't produce a profit, it's simply not included in the 100.
Friends, it's not that complicated, because it's 100% of the industry's profit - and because some companies go into the red, the sum of the others must cover the percentages of minus plus 100%. (Analogously, e.g. on the stock market, the investors earned a total of USD 100k, but investor A+B each earned USD 60k, while investor C lost 20k...)
Oh my God. It is divided by profit and sales. Profit must be minus costs, if it is negative, it is a loss, but it certainly has nothing to do with profit.
If some brands don't make profit from those phones, it stands to reason that they don't get any share of that 100% profit.
:D But that's nonsense again, my god..
So I am asking for other, correct numbers in your opinion, and a link to their source. Then we can have fun.
The profit cannot be above 100% simply because 100% is all the profit generated. Losses do not count towards profit. So with Apple there should be approx. 2/3 and Samsung's 1/3 (I don't want to calculate the percentages exactly right now) and no one makes any more profit.
Or 87% percent of people are iOves…
