For several years now, Apple has been the company with the highest profit in the entire industry of smartphone manufacturers, and in Q3 2012 things have not changed. According to him Horace Dediu from Asymco, Apple generated 60% of the profit of the entire industry of smartphone manufacturers, Samsung generated 39% and HTC only 1%, these being the only 3 companies that obtain profit from the sale of smartphones. It seems that no other producer is making money from this industry, everyone is constantly investing without getting anything in return.
Apple's profit decreased compared to the same period last year, while Samsung's profit increased, but in Q4 2012 we might see a change, the holiday season being usually an extremely profitable period for Apple.
