<<First time I see anyone poopooing a $4.5 billion dollar profit for 3 months... LMFAO... too funny.>> In Apple's fiscal q4 you poo-pooped Apple's results From their conference call for that quarter Net income was $6.6 billion, increasing 54% year-over-year That was for 3 months. So, in a poor quarter for Apple, they earned 2.1 billion (46%) more than Samsung did in a record quarter Wait until Jan 24 to see a really impressive, record number

Well, I imagine that you're correct that Samsung would do fine without Apple, though they do make a fair amount of money selling to Apple. As for the $4.5 billion dollar profit, that's a good quarter. It's just less than half of what Apple will report, is all I'm saying. It means that Apple produced more profit from just the iPhone in the past quarter than Samsung made altogether. And Apple has three other highly profitable product lines as well.
