100	12.3 * That's the percentage of the Chinese smartphone market that Apple owned in the 4th quarter of 2014, according to a new report from analyst firm Canalys. That's up from just 5% in the third quarter. The most surprising estimate from the report is that Canalys believes Apple to now be the number-one handset maker in China. But Kantar Worldpanel disagrees, saying Apple is #2 in China after leader Xiaomi. * * *
101	93 * That's the percentage of smartphone profits that Apple took in the 4th quarter, according to Canaccord. Samsung took 9 percent. The total adds up to more than 100% because they factor in the losses of the rest of the industry. * * *
102	590 million * That's how many dollars China's Alibaba Group invested in a Chinese smartphone maker called Meizu Technology, which has less than 2 percent of China's smartphone market share. Meizu is best known for making exact copies of Apple iPhones. * * *
