Apple is perhaps not the king of the smartphone in terms of market share, but as we often hear, it is the most profitable manufacturer. And moreover, this is reinforced by an estimate that was given by the managing director of the financial services firm Canaccord Genuity, Mike Walkley.


According to him, Apple realized 92% of the profits of the 8 best manufacturers of smartphones in the first quarter 2015. As for Samsung, it has achieved 15%.

And if you wonder why Samsung and Apple make more than 100% of the profits of this industry, it is because in his calculations, Canaccord has found that some manufacturers are making losses or no profit. Furthermore, it is noted that according to the Wall Street Journal, Apple's share has increased since it was 65% in the first quarter of the previous year.

So here, Apple, focusing on the high end, does not need to have Samsung's shares to achieve the majority of the profits of this industry. Obviously, when the Cupertino company sells smartphones that cost him an estimated of teardown.com, less than $ 250 to produce , it still has quite a margin, even when removing other costs such as marketing or R & D. Next, we must say that for other manufacturers in recent months have not necessarily been happier.
