By contrast, Samsung was estimated to have 18%.</p> <!--break--> <p>If that math seems weird there because the two added up to over 100%, that's because Motorola and Microsoft have been going through net losses. Meanwhile, HTC and BlackBerry effectively broke even, and LG had a modest 2% share of profits.</p> <p>We all know Apple's profit margin is straight-up bananas (http://www.imore.com/how-bigger-screen-iphones-could-lead-best-class-profit-margins-apple), and this analyst note, though far from the final say in the matter, just goes to show that the trend isn't changing.</p> <p>Source: AppleInsider (http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/11/04/apple-continues-to-dominate-with-massive-86-share-of-handset-industry-profits)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-28139"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/4026894c/sc/15/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
