Can you hear that popping sound? That’s the sound of Champaign corks
flying all over the Samsung corporate office after announcing the
company stripped Apple of its
Most Profitable Smartphone Vendor title after outselling Apple by over a three to one margin. Sue me again, I double dog dare you.
"Apple’s reign as the world’s most profitable
handset vendor lasted almost four years, from Q3 2009 to Q1 2013," Neil
Mawston, also of Strategy Analytics, said. "Apple’s profit margin for
its handset division has been fading recently due to lackluster iPhone 5
volumes and tougher competition from rivals."
