Bengal34 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 http://money.cnn.com/2010/12/13/technology/thebuzz/index.htm Although the article itself discuses the value of Apple's stock, it provides a graph I found interesting. The iDevice hardware themselves make up about 64% and iTunes brings in 6%. I don't believe any of this is in any way shape or form earth shattering, but I found it interesting so I figured I'd share.

evo_spook Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I was think last week how it was rather sad that lots will now regard macs as imacs and power macs and the name "Apple Macintosh" is forgotton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Quite amazing how the iPhone has managed to take over so much of their business in such a short amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something not quite right there though maybe. Does the Touch fall under the iPhone or Ipod listing? If iPod it seems too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrack Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Quite amazing how the iPhone has managed to take over so much of their business in such a short amount of time. I would argue that it didn't "take over so much of their business" but instead created so much of their business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I would argue that it didn't "take over so much of their business" but instead created so much of their business. Apple's comeback pretty much started with the iPod & iTunes. Because of those two products the Mac came back into the picture as well and became a lot more popular. The iPhone accelerated things even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats true. iPhone sales have cannibalized iPod sells, so in that regard I guess it did "take over". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It SHOULD be under iPod since it's the iPod Touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to think that switching to intel was a major factor for Macs than iPod ever was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the sales figures above, the mac is irrelevant even to Apple. They could completely drop OSX and their laptops/desktops and the company would still be incredibly profitable.

I wasn't commenting on the success of iPod but how Macs came around to selling more over the years. iPod is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
