- From October 2011 to September 2012, the total net profit of Microsoft, Google, eBay, Yahoo, Facebook and Amazon was $ 34.4 billion. Apple alone has reached $ 7 billion more.
- At the same time Dell, Asus, Intel, Acer, IBM, Lenovo and HP, ie practically the whole field PC, totaled $ 19.3 billion, less than half of Apple’s profits.
Despite the decline in the shares, Apple is still the most valuable company in the world and investments are still profitable. A few days ago as the CEO of Disney has invested $ 1 million in Apple shares.
