The World's Most Profitable Product

Could the iPhone be the most profitable product ever? We compare it to other items suggested by our listeners.

Recently one of our listeners contacted us to say he heard a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ correspondent describe the iPhone as the most profitable product in history. It was just an off-the-cuff comment but it got us thinking - could it be true? We compare and contrast a range of products suggested by More or Less listeners to work out if the iPhone truly is the most profitable.
