Interbrand released its list of the world’s most valuable brands today – Apple is on top for the first time. For Apple doubters it is worth reading the Interbrand citation – they send a lot of kudos the way of Apple CEO, Tim Cook.
After the launch of the 5S and 5C a number of  commentators pointed out that the iPhone accounts for about half of Apple’s revenues. Another member of the top 10 most valuable brand’s club is Samsung at number 8, the dominant player in smartphones by volume. Smartphones rule.
Google is up there too, the dominant force in the smartphone OS market. Microsoft is number 5 on the list. And yes, the comparison starts to break down there. Not so dominant a force in phones or tablets, Microsoft is still number 3 in mobile OS.
