Apple’s head count is up 30%, and still the industry’s most productive. Over the last decade, Apple has, with its unheard-of innovation, redefined the music world through Ipods, cellular world through Iphone and the entertainment world through Ipads. After Jobs passing away leaving many concerns for Apple’s future, it’s currently proving analysts wrong by generating approximately $420,000 of profit per employee, beating major companies by an impressive margin. While Apple employs one-seventh as many employees as IBM, its profit reaches almost 13 times. Despite its overwhelming sales with the Iphone 4S investors reacted to the lack of innovative design where stock prices fell. Yet it has, without a doubt, contributed to Apple’s success, where sales proliferated up to a　point that it sold more than double of that of Iphone 4 in one weekend.

Apple is prominently dominant over the cellular market where last quarter the iphone 4 took in 4.6% of unit sales and 66.3% of profit sales. Nonetheless, recently revealed that Samsung has over taken Apple in terms of sales share. Furthermore, however, the efficiency Apple retains makes Samsung’s share of the market skeptical. I believe Apple’s future is heavily dependent upon its next innovative product, which will without a doubt influence the future market.
