“Profit share is not something Apple users made up. . . “
It absolutely was something they embraced, that’s for sure.
Before Apple fans bragged about it, they used the old fashioned “market share” metric back when iPhone were out-selling everyone else.
Once android started eating into that, and then passed them, all of a sudden they switched to talking about the amont of profit Apple makes off of each sale, because they needed something to “prove” Apple was better still.
Basically bragging that they get fleeced better. God only knows why they think that is something to brag about.
Boy, do you LOVE to make up your facturds, don't you. Apple iPhones NEVER out-sold everyone else. The iPad and iPod may have had the lion share of market share in their markets, but you really confabulated that into what you want. Facts are fungible for you.

I don't believe you will find Apple itself claiming anything about the profit share, it is the independent pundits such as Horace Dediu who do the analysis who have pointed these data out, who talk about profit share, not Apple. Any company is trying to make the best profit they can. . . and when they do, it IS something to brag about. Obviously you are no capitalist, VanDeKoik.
