Google Earns $2 Per Handset; Apple, $575

You seem to be forgetting one slight thing here.

Google doesn't make handsets, it doesn't sell handsets, it provides an OS which it then earns from due to licensing.

Apple make their handsets AND the OS, they then sell their handsets AND the OS.

So of course they make more money per handset.

The journalist who brought this topic up is severely retarded.

Dediu's starting point is a settlement offer Google made to Oracle of $2.8 Rating: 5
