So they charge a premium for their phones, that's all. Android completely obliterates Apple if you count number of units shipped.
- icelancer 5y agoMaking more profit on way fewer units is something I think most companies would like a lot more than shipping the most units.
- r3trohack3r 5y agoAndroid is an operating system. Apple is a company. “That’s all” is disingenuous. If Samsung could charge a similar premium for their phones, and capture a similar profit, I’m fairly confident they would.
- gtirloni 5y agoIt's hard to say Apple is some kind of king of the hill when 9 in 10 people around the globe have an Android. Congrats to them on extracting more money from their customers though, I don't see how that helps in general (unless you hold Apple stock).
