Comments on: Apple Grabs Two-Thirds Of Mobile Phone Industry Profits http://www.slashgear.com/apple-grabs-two-thirds-of-mobile-phone-industry-profits-29168396/ Feeding Your Gadget and Tech Obsessions Thu, 10 May 2012 13:34:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: computer repairs sydney http://www.slashgear.com/apple-grabs-two-thirds-of-mobile-phone-industry-profits-29168396/#comment-127497 computer repairs sydney Sun, 31 Jul 2011 13:36:00 +0000 http://www.slashgear.com/?p=168396#comment-127497 RIM are so dead… they have so far failed to come up with a decent touch screen phone (the Torch was a nice try, but no cigar) – and even worse, their app store is still a wasteland with very few apps. 

Fine for the enterprise, but the individuals in the enterprise are demanding alternatives. My company just caved and we’re all moving to iphones (so that’s 2000 less handsets for RIM). 

It’s a shame, because iPhones are not enterprise-ready yet, but they are still overall better than BBs!

Don’t even try to stray away from the argument by bringing up Androids

I suspect the big delay from Apple was due to this phone. Apple trying to catch up even before release. The ip5 may have a couple of superior features, but remember Samsung makes their own displays and processors. Guess who makes Apple’s A5? But congratz to Apple for their astounding profit. Capitalism rocks!

(of course when you don’t spend anything on r&d this is doable..)

so they made double the profits of when they were in ther heyday but still lay off thousands.. no pay cuts to
their double-CEOs…

it’s also wild that even though they make so many uber androids HTC has seen little growth in way of profits..

apple’s eating their lunch.. and desert.. and after dinner mint AND barely leaving them scraps to fight over from the doggie bag..

ive been seriously eying the EVO 3D but am not doing anything at this point until I see the new iPhone.

The fact that apple can put out such a superior build AND make so much profit is proof of their efficiency. They are certainly the envy of all other tech companies.. (which is why comments sections are so ripe with sour grapes…)

Android is already the largest market share in the US and pulling away. Who would want to give up flash? Or voice-in text? The Samsung Galaxy S II will shake up the market share picture, too. I hope the iPhone 5 turns out to be awesome, since Samsung will quickly do it one better with the Android goodness.
