Don't know what you want?
Apple's revenues went UP substantially in the past quarter... it was the company's margins that reduced total profits.
But this is exactly what the anal-ysts have been clamoring for. They have been demanding that Apple lower its margins and sell less expensive products.
So what happens when Apple does what those people want? Those same people start complaining that Apple's margins are lower! They really don't know what they want.
There has been a demand for Apple to sell more lower-priced (and lower margin) products, and they have done this by introducing the iPad mini and selling more previous generation iPhones.
Even with the reduced margins, Apple's revenues and profits are MUCH larger than any other tech company in the world. Samsung's revenues and profits are PUNY compared to Apple's.
Samsung can only dream of making the money that Apple does. ;-)
