Nokia Vs iPhone
I have a few really amazing stats to share with you. When I saw this I was amazed beyond doubt because this gives a totally new prospective into the way we related market share with the revenue a company posts and vice versa.
Nokia’s Handset Market Share – 37.9% (Source)
Apple’s Hadset Market Share – 2.5% (Source)
The split in the market share seems quite natural and obvious. Apple is bound to have a very low share because it only ships smart phone (the iPhone series).
But here comes the really mind blowing part. According to the results of the research conducted by StrategyAnalytics
Nokia’s Q3 Profit – $1.1 billion
Apples’s Q3 Profit (from iPhone alone) – $1.6 billion
Amazed?
Nokia builds loads and loads of handset, Apple only builds iPhone. Nokia has a very strong presence internationally; iPhone is not a big hit in developing countries (India and China). Nokia handsets work with all the carriers, iPhone? Only with carriers with which Apple has a tie up. Despite AT&T’s awful quality of service in the US the Jesus phone rules the roost and the above stats stand a testimony to it. Single handily, in a span of just 2 years Apple has outshined the largest handset maker in the World. This is what “Insanely great” means & this is what “Think Different” is all about.
When all the companies around are struggling to move ahead after getting past one of the worst economic crisis of their life time, Apple coolly declares that Q4 was its most successful quarter ever. Call it the remarkable business acumen of Steve Paul Jobs or his vision that is driving Apple ahead even in a downturn. The CEO of the decade makes it look so effortless and miraculous. This Apple-Nokia thing is just one of those feathers in his cap; don’t go on looking for more you might just get lost in the jungle.
