Although Apple shipped only 6% of the industry's smartphones and tablets in 2Q12, the company captured 43% of revenue and 77% of profits, according to Raymond James analyst Tavis McCourt.

"Ultimately, profits are the feedstock of innovation; and, innovation drives profits," McCourt writes.

I don't feel ripped off. I paid for and god a phone that does everything I need a smartphone to do. How is that being ripped off? Oh wait, you are a android user so saying stupid shit like this is the only way you can make yourself feel better about wasting your money on a gay ass phone that freezes and crashes on you all the time.
