No,Samsung has not passed Apple in Profitability
http://www.apple.com/in/pr/library/2013/07/23Apple-Reports-Third-Quarter-Results.html
I saw a lot of leading publications(Business Insider especially) wrongly stating that Samsung passed Apple in Profitability- Answer is NO
Apple reported $6.9bn of net profits and $9.2bn of Operating profits.
Samsung meanwhile reported $8.33bn of Operating Profits.
Press is comparing Apple's net Income with Samsung's Operating profit - This is misleading as it does not include several other expenses like taxation and Interest/extraordinary expenses.
Additionally must remember, Samsung Electronics does much more than mobiles.
