The Apple company earns more than 100 billion dollars annually from products sold around the world, but which of them generates the most income for those in Cupertino. If you haven't already guessed, well I'm telling you that iPhone terminals have been generating the most money for the Apple company for years, and in the graph above you can see the exact ratio of revenues brought by them in relation to the rest of the American company's products.
Basically, iPhones bring in every fiscal quarter more than half of the money collected by Apple, and this is quite normal since they also record the highest sales. Unfortunately for Apple, the iPad tablets are starting to generate less and less revenue, just like the iPods, but the bright side is that Macs and iTunes are attracting more and more users and generating more and more money for the company. and developers.
These Macs are interesting and why not, really good, but they are far from what you want them to be. Basically, Apple was born because of the Mac, and my opinion is that if it were only focused on them, Apple would have been history for a long time.
If we take into account the period since they appeared and take a look at the market, we can say quite casually that it is not a great success.
Too bad for them because they are quite good, not so good as to justify their price, but good. The problem is that I don't really see it succeeding in overcoming the competition or overshadowing Windows.
@seby – how to put Windows in the shade, when OSX is strictly linked to Apple hardware?
It is not very complex, it has neither functions nor security for the corporate segment and it has no hardware support, and many software do not support it. And not too long ago, it has a few more applications running on it.
About 8 years ago, the software scene for MacOS and then OSX was deserted.
However, Mac sales have increased a lot compared to those of Windows or other platforms. The price of a Mac is a very good one considering the hardware you have, the materials, the design, the suite of pre-installed programs, update- the free one, Apple support, etc. If you put them all on paper, you come to the conclusion that Mac is cheaper than Windows. We are not talking about pirated Windows, pirated programs, etc. And look at the price of notebooks as one that comes close to the configurations of an entry level Macbook Pro has almost the same price. The Mac is not very attractive because it is mostly intended for productivity. Notice that 95% of content creators of any kind use a Mac. Here it is still expensive and not everyone can afford it, but in developed countries the Mac has a fairly large market share.
@doe, are you talking about seeing your "works" on this site, or do you have any connection with the real world?
Let me show you how it is with this unreliable corporate OS X, which is not complex and has no hardware support and which only runs about 2 stray applications!
Do you know that the Adobe Creative suite works better on Mac than on Windows? Or that MS Office is more beautiful on Mac than on their own Windows? Or do you know that there are excellent applications that only exist on the Mac?
Look in the link below where the guys from HTC (oops, the competition!), have offices full of poppies (71 apples appear in the film) and they are not ashamed at all, because yes, they are good and easier and safer to work on them than any other WIndows!

@seby, you are right that they are expensive to buy, but have you asked yourself the problem that you give a macbook from 2010 for 2.000 lei? If you actually do the math in time, it doesn't cost more than others!
