Last night I learned that Apple generated revenues of 46 billion dollars in the last three months of 2011, having a profit of over 13 billion dollars. In the same period last year Google had receipts of just over 10 billion dollars and a much smaller profit. Making a comparison between the two companies, we find out that Apple collected more than 4 times more money than Google, but also that the profit of the Apple company is even higher than the receipts of the company from Mountain View. The difference is interesting considering that Google owns the most used operating system for mobile terminals and still fails to collect enough money from it.
In Q3 2011 Apple collected more than half of the profit of all mobile phone manufacturers and in Q4 2011 things will not change at all. Apple has doubled its profit and a good part of it is generated by the three versions of the iPhone terminal that are still available on the market and have been bought by almost 40 million people.
