It is now happening in apps. As we reported two months ago, Apple is on the verge of giving up its lead in app downloads. The average Android customer may use fewer apps, but there are a lot more of them and that is starting to turn the heads of developers.

同样的故事如今正在应用领域上演。正如我们两个月前所报道的，苹果即将丢掉其在应用下载量方面的头号排名。虽然安卓顾客一般使用的应用数量可能要少一些，但是安卓用户人数多得多，这一点正开始令开发者转向。

The next significant bragging right that Apple is in danger of losing is its leading share of smartphone industry profits. Apple almost certainly still leads Samsung in this department. The profit margin on the iPhone comfortably exceeds its margin on other products. But unless the expected launch of a new, lower-priced iPhone can stop the rot, Apple will probably be overwhelmed in the profit stakes by the sheer volumes of its arch-rival, as growth shifts to more price sensitive markets.

下一个苹果原本引以为豪，现在却可能丢失的重要阵地是其在智能手机行业居领先地位的利润份额。在这方面，苹果几乎肯定仍胜过三星一筹。苹果在iPhone上的利润率毫无悬念地超出了其在其他产品上的利润率。但是，除非预期将要发布的新型低价iPhone阻止顾客流失，随着增长重心转向更为价格敏感的市场，苹果在利润份额上很可能被其劲敌的庞大出货量打败。
