iphone occupies more than half of the global handset market in the first quarter Beijing time May 18 Morning news, U.S. market research company Asymco analyst Helas Dediu (Horace Dediu) wrote that Apple's iphone sales in the global handset market share of 5% this year,　　Revenue accounted for 20%, profit accounted for 55%. Dediu has been tracking the operating profit performance of eight handset makers for the past three years. He divided the eight handset makers into two groups: the production of smartphones and the "Diversity group". "I don't see these handset makers interested in smartphones in the short term," he said. "Each additional feature cell phone to the brand portfolio would reduce the company's operating profit." I think the market is: non-smartphones will disappear from the brand portfolio within 3-5 years.　　He also pointed out that in terms of operating profit share, RIM, Samsung and HTC have maintained a profit share from 2007 to now, while Nokia's share of profits has shifted to Apple. However, what is shown here is only the operating profit from the mobile phone business and does not represent the full picture. Nokia accounted for 47% or 2.35 billion dollars in its share of profits three years ago, while Apple's share of profits amounted to 57% or 5.23 billion dollars in the first quarter of this year. In addition, the chart also shows that not only Samsung, RIM also has a share of more than Nokia. (Jiangxue)
