Apple made more than Microsoft, Google, eBay, Yahoo, Amazon and Facebook combined in fiscal 2012

There's nothing to be surprised of. Prices of their products obviously will tell you how Apple earned that billions of profits.

I got sick from biased articles of Iphone Arena...
If you are brave, publish a review comparing IPhone 5 with Nokia Lumia 920...

You would never ever do that .... at all.

I hope this site does not turn out in misleading people like the other Apple fan-boy sites.

OK dont get this...didn't samsung alone in the last 2 quaters make around 12 billion in profit so how come this graph shows them making only 12 billion with Nokia rim etc

I don't buy that, Apple fudges it's numbers and pads the books really badly. They'll have one set of figures one day and then have a completely different and higher set of numbers the next.

Also their products cost way too much for what they're worth. You can either buy a MacBook Pro for $2500 or get a Dell with the same specs for $500. So of course Apple is going to make boat loads of cash, they sell at such outrageous prices.The MacBook Air, the small one cost $1000 when you can get a netbook with the same specs for $300.

This chart is very misleading, especially when Phone Arena reported that Samsung made around $12 billion last quarter and also reported that Apple profit margins were down too.

Instead of just adding the numbers and saying this company is doing better than all these other companies look at the figures in context as well. MS had a record year of almost 74 billion dollars in revenue and its profits were hit with an almost 7 billion dollar deduction still earning an healthy 17 billion profit. When a company any company can triple their profits from 10 years ago I would say that company id doing well no matter what the analyst say.
