In Q3 2016, following the Note 7 recall as well as losses for LG and HTC, Apple took 103.6% of the smartphone industry profits, in spite of having only 13.6% marketshare. I have no idea if monopoly is the right word, but it's kinda fucked up any way you look at it.

- Filligree 10y ago103%? Are you sure that's what you meant to say?
- RugnirViking 10y agoNot that poster, but yes, the information is correct, because in total, all their competitors made a loss
- Fricken 10y agoInsomuch as it's what the analysts who arrived at that number meant to say, yes.
- jp555 10y agoI can't imagine how you're looking at it. Monopoly is not the right word. Successful is the word. How is it Apple's fault that all the other smartphone makers combined run at a loss?
