Apple is now officially the third largest phone supplier in the world. The sky rocketing success of its “Jesus Phone” has landed Apple to the third position just within a year of getting into the mobile market. The news came from none other then the man himself at the Apple’s earnings conference call yesterday.
Mr. Jobs announced that Apple’s $4.6 billion in iPhone revenues in this quarter has placed the company in the third position, right behind the mobile phone market dominators Nokia and Samsung. And this means that Apple is ahead of Sony Ericson, LG, Motorola and last but not least, RIM. Here’s the chart based on companies revenue this quarter.
| Company | Revenue (USD) |
| Nokia | $12.7 billion |
| Samsung | $5.9 billion |
| Apple | $4.6 billion |
| Sony Ericson | $4.2 billion |
| LG | $3.4 billion |
| Motorola | $3.2 billion |
| RIM | $2.1 billion |
The news didn’t come as a surprise at all. It was just a matter of time before Apple taking on the mobile giants with its revolutionary device. iPhone, without any doubt has redefined the mobile devices. And with Apple’s smart marketing, it was bound to succeed.
