So why has Samsung sold all those phones? There is a lot of competition. And I don't know anything about other manufacturers profit margins, but at least here there are lots of phones that are more expensive than iPhones. The same goes for iPads, those devices are actually pretty good value when compared to similiar devices in the same price bracket (the way they should).
