Although the South Koreans have nearly 25 percent market share of the worldwide smartphone sales in the quarter, in terms of profit has rival Apple but clearly ahead. The company from Cupertino could rake in a whopping 94 percent of global smartphone sales in the third quarter, Apple Insider reports with reference to a study by Canaccord Genuity.

Looking at the competition, the projection becomes even clearer. Samsung had 11 percent of the profits for themselves. A crash from formerly 42 percent, measured in 2013. Looking at the average selling prices of smartphones, such as Apple and Samsung is very clear, apart. So the average selling price of an iPhone in the quarter amounted to 670 US dollars. Devices from Samsung, there were on average already for sale for 180 dollars.

iPhone and iPhone 6s 6s Plus could provide sales records
The fact that the profit from Samsung and Apple together amounts to more than 100 percent, the fact is owed that other smartphone manufacturers make losses. Whether Microsoft, LG, Sony or HTC - they all play little or no role for the distribution of profits in the smartphone segment. While some analysts already see a downward trend for Apple, the successful release of the iPhone and iPhone 6s could again provide 6s Plus for new sales records as Apple CEO Tim Cook presented on the occasion of the presentation of its financial results in September in view.
