Re:Apple’s Share of Smartphone Industry’s Profits Soars to 92% by sremani on Monday July 13, 2015 @10:39AM (#9878330)
Apple captured the top 10% of world's population in terms of discretionary income, and so they are making massive profits. Their key demographic is well-to-do in developed countries and rich in developing/middle-income countries. There is a NYU Professor who mapped iOS and Android devices, and the map of LA showed really rich parts dominated by IPhone.
