Only three manufacturers get 100% of profits in the world of smartphones
Although Apple only ranked third in sales of smartphones with the iPhone, things change a lot when viewed from a different perspective. And this is what they have done in Asymco, where they have carried out a study which reveals that the iPhone is 73% of the profit generated in the smartphone market, that is ... that is the most money gets to its manufacturer.
If this sounds spectacular (and note that it is), it is also interesting to find that Samsung gets 26% of these benefits and HTC with a tiny 1%. The rest of the manufacturers (Nokia, RIM, Motorola, Sony, LG, etc..) Appear to generate profits with their smartphones.
To put these figures to percentages, Apple and Samsung last year got 5,300 million in Q1 and now have pocketed 14,400 million in the first quarter of 2012. An increase really important. Not to mention that the graph has, since 2007, where Nokia was the clear winner as far as benefits are concerned, what has taken a radical turn in late 2011. Draw your own conclusions.
