iPhone X it alone generated more profit than the entire division a Samsung that produces mobile phones, or any other mobile phone manufacturer on the planet, according to some information that appeared today. We are talking here about a study carried out by Counterpoint, analyzing the profit of the smartphone industry in Q4 2017, iPhone X generating 35% of the profit of the entire smartphone industry.
Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), it collected 86% of the profit of the entire industry of smartphone manufacturers, so the iPhone X alone represented more than a third of the entire profit collected by the Apple company from smartphone sales. Comparing this to the rest of the industry, iPhone X generated 5 times more profit than over 600 Android phone manufacturers combined, and this shows how big the problems are for other companies.
iPhone X – higher profit than the entire mobile division of Samsung
The iPhone X, a single model of Apple's mobile phone, generated more profit than entire divisions of companies that make mobile phones, including Samsung, which sells more smartphones than Apple, although not in Q4 2017. To be completely honest, I am amazed that the iPhone X generated such a large profit for the Apple company and managed to exceed the profits generated by entire companies, even hundreds of them, the very high price being the basis of the achievement.
"As global handset profits dipped 1% (year-on-year) in the fourth quarter of 2017, Apple iPhone X alone generated 35% of the total handset industry profits. iPhone X generated 5 times more profits than the combined profits of over 600 Android OEMs during Q4 2017. The iPhone X alone generated 21% of total industry revenue.”
iPhone X has a very high selling price set by the Apple company, and this helped to achieve such a high profit, including in comparison with the rest of the mobile phone manufacturers. Everyone knows that Apple had an extremely good Q4 2017, but the big question is what happened in Q1 2018 and what will happen in the following fiscal quarters, considering that iPhone X sales are announced to be much lower than in Q4 2017 .
