Apple and Samsung still dominate tech industryApple and Samsung together have generated 100 percent or more of all operating profits among makers of premium-priced smartphones. When it comes to what matters, Apple and Samsung rule, and they're unlikely to be dislodged soon. The bigger question mark is how the changing complexion of the smartphone market will dent the Apple and Samsung profit duopoly. Even as the smartphone industry shifted from hypergrowth to barely budging, Apple and Samsung have continued to gorge all available profits at the fat end of the market. The question is whether the dominance its rivals can't shake might be undone by the slow-growth, more profit-conscious smartphone market that we're entering now.
