Incredible: Apple’s Market Share Compared To Profits Share

Apple sold 2.8% of all mobile handsets worldwide, but rakes in a whopping 39% of the profits.

Let me say that one more time. Sold 2.8% of the market, gets 39% of the profits. And this includes all phones worldwide, not just smartphones. Apple sold 17 million handsets during the first half of 2010. Nokia, LG and Samsung, combined, sold 400 million. Their profits, again, combined, are lower than Apple’s.

Look at the graph below to get a better picture at how this is split up:
