        I didn't; Fortune did: Pie chart of the day: Apple's share of smartphone profits - Apple 2.0 - Fortune Tech

          I would think you have to find the full text for that, quite possibly that is for the American market alone.

          The claim that HTC are losing money in 2012 is BS. They have been posting profits all the way through 2012 and they do not do much else than make phones so something is not quite right.

            Yes it is still making money. Just not very much.

              Its is not really about HTC or the size of profit, the evidence as presented with the argument is wrong.

                That pie chart at Fortune shows HTC with a 5% share of the operating profits in whatever smartphone market those figures are derived from.

                  The pie chart shows 2011, the text underneath gives details of 2012.

                  Underneath it says HTC are losing money in 2012, that is wrong.

                  Do you even know how to read graphically presented data?

                    According to this they're making a profit but they've taken a bit of a hammering compared to a couple of years ago.

                      I think now MS have released a decent OS for mobile and tablets consumers will find it difficult to resists the ease of integration with Windows. I expect windows Phones to take over iOS in the next year or two. Apple have had their day in the sun.
