Apple is finally getting a taste of what analysts do to Samsung
How the heck were they ever going to sell 70 million gs6s when all of apples phones barely broke 50 million.
Just a heads up, Samsung still outsold apple, they just didn't hit there analysts projected numbers and don't have the same margins as apple for pure profits.I think Samsung hit just over 6 billion in pure profits last quarter
That's true. Samsung sold more units than Apple.
But you also need to remember that Samsung is a full-line smartphone manufacturer.
Samsung sells smartphones from $100 all the way up to $800 and beyond. They cater to markets and demographics that Apple doesn't. Samsung is also in more countries and on more carriers than Apple.
So yeah... Samsung outsold Apple... but the two companies aren't exactly playing the same game.
Apple's phones start at $450 and go up from there. And looking at their ASP... the bulk of Apple's sales are well above $600.
Meanwhile... Samsung sells plenty of phones below $450. In fact... those make up the bulk of their sales.
In other words... Samsung's units and Apple's units are very different.
