“New figures show that Apple has significantly outsold smartphone brands that are trying to challenge it for Christmas sales in the UK, in spite of new models from its biggest competitors,” Daniel Thomas reports for The Financial Times.
“According to research – seen by the Financial Times – by GfK, which compiles sales data from the large operators, Apple’s iPhone 4s was the highest-selling phone in the four weeks to December 9,” Thomas reports. “The model accrued almost a quarter of all sales, having only been introduced in October.”
Thomas reports, “In total, five versions of Apple’s iPhone were in the top 15 handsets sold in the first week of December, accounting for more than 37 per cent of sales, according to the most recent data from GfK. One of the phones, the 3Gs, was launched more than two and a half years ago.”

And I’ll bet Apple accounted for 90% of the overall profit. The competition probably gave their stuff away in special offers and sales (to keep up), while Apple got full retail price PLUS a large subsidy from the carrier.
