"The last graph, which compares the profit pie from 2007 and 2011, is most revealing. Back then, Apple only had one percent of all operating profits while Nokia had 55 percent, at the time the pie was shared between eight major players. Compare that to last quarter, when Apple captured 66 percent of a profit pie split between only four players: Apple, Samsung, RIM, and HTC."
