, which is an ABBREVIATED translation of

Shira Ovide and Daisuke Wakabayashi, Apple Gets 92% of Smartphone Profit. Wall Street Journal, July 13, 2015

("Apple’s share of profits is remarkable given that it sells fewer than 20% of smartphones")

My comment:
(a) There is no need to read the translation, or the TEXT of the English version. Just view the graphic which does NOT show up in the translation.
(b) As for the graphic in the English version, the one ONLINE correctly states the obvious: "Share of global operating profit or loss" in 2014 Microsoft was "-0.4%," rather than "0.4%" as depicted in the PRINT.
(c)
(i) The quotation above is from the text of the PRINT, which has no subtitle.
ONLINE (English) version has a subtitle AND the text which is exactly the same but substitutes "less" for "fewer."
(ii) Turns out that the ONLINE version is correct. See Catherine Soanes, Less or Fewer?  OxfordWords, Aug 10, 2012 (blog)

(the last section whose heading is "There’s always a ‘but’. . .")
