Also noteworthy is that almost all the value from the Android ecosystem is concentrated in Samsung. I did not include Google in this analysis since its mobile is so small as to be not visible in its accounting. A separate analysis of Android economics shows that Google’s benefit from the platform is modest. In contrast, Samsung, and Samsung alone, is benefitting greatly. It could even be said that today Samsung is the only Android profit engine.
Android bleibt ein eigenartiges Biest, dessen Zukunft mehr als ungewiss ist. (Eine Analyse folgt, sobald ich die Zeit und Muße dafür aufbringen kann.)
Die Mobilbranche wird währenddessen dominiert von zwei Riesen. Dediu:
In absolute terms the iPhone franchise created $244 billion in value while Samsung created $83 billion. The others destroyed $37 billion.
