subject: The Profit Of Apple And Rim Is Up To2 / 3 Of The Smart Phone Market [print this page] Competing for market share makes the competition of smart phone market increasing. Apple and Android developing rapidly, Meego and Symbian ^ 3 operating system etc are eager to have a try. These seem to Make RIM BlackBerry future sadly which is focus only on business market. However, obtained from a Deutsche Bank analysis recently, we found that, RIM BlackBerry has a very stable market and huge profits, while RIM and Apple two smart phone manufacturers are only account for 1 / 10 of mobile phone market share, but their profits are 2 / 3. The space of the remaining 1 / 3 markets is less, and the brand name cell phones are numerous.
Just received from the chart, you can obviously see that the highest is Apple this year. From 2007 to the present, Apple's profits have been higher with iPhone, while the RIM BlackBerry profits is rising from the beginning of 2006, in particular, development is outstanding in recent two years. It takes up the much rate of the market profit. As for the strong performance of the Nokia in 2007, its profits are gradually declining; to 2011, the profit advantage of the Nokia will be completely covered by Apple and RIM.
Report said that, as the world's largest mobile phone maker, the mainstream products of Nokia has been located in the low-end market currently, so the profit is very low, the market share even is worse than Apple and RIM in Europe. The report also believes that Apple's impact on the industry is still in force to continue, such as the low cost cell phones of Samsung and LG in North America have accumulated some users, but now they are slowly disappeared from the shelves and be replaced by various high-end smart phones.
View on Apple's earnings, let Apple benefit most is still the iPhone, then is apple notebook and the iPad products. In addition to hardware, software services and Apple's App Store also occupy a large portion of the Apple. Although The RIM BlackBerry Company specializes in the business market, high-end smartphones and BlackBerry services can support the high profits. So we see that the slower movement company Nokia also begins to make edge software and services market, and speed up the RAD research and development of the Meego and other high-end smartphone ( China cell phone ). Hopes Nokia can recover lost profits as soon as possible.
