50% of Apple's Revenue Comes From the iPhone
BogenDorpher writes "A new report indicates that 50% of Apple's revenue comes from its iPhone product. Not 5%, not 20%, but 50%. In just three months from December 2010 to March 2011, Apple has raked in a total of 24.6 billion dollars. 50% of that came from the iPhone."
What do you mean laughable? If you go by OS and don't include tablets Droid is already trouncing iOS in marketshare.
It isn't blatant cherrypicking. There is a market called "Smartphones". It does not include Tablets or MP3 players. In the Smartphone category there are several major OS's - Android, iOS, RIM, and whatever crap Nokia has.
Like I said in another post - when you compare Desktop OS you have to count all the vendors because Microsoft doesn't sell desktops. And when you look at total desktops you don't add in something like XBox which uses a modified Windows OS.
I love the "fandroids" comment because people who call other people "fans" usually are trying to mask their own "fandom".
