You could say it is a manipulation of data. Apple iOS is only available on Apple handsets. Android, Symbian, etc is available on multiple handsets from various vendors.

If you look at the PC desktop market, it would look similar because Windows, Linux, etc are distributed among hundreds of hardware manufacturers while OS X is only available for one hardware manufacturer.

All this tells me is that Apple products are overpriced.

I’m going to presume that Apple’s profit numbers include its profits from the iTunes App Store, no? Looking at just handset sales, without the extra software revenue, the picture might not be quite as skewed...

Do you know where the iPhone profit numbers come from? To my knowledge, Apple - unlike many tech companies - does not break out its profit numbers by product line.
