Let's be realistic. The only real profitable revenue stream for Apple is the phone and app store. >with more than one of them earning more profits than the whole of Alphabet put together. Which would those be with the exception of the phone? As for those other other revenue streams you mentioned - they're just a blip on the radar (tvOS and cloud - really?)

>Let's be realistic. The only real profitable revenue stream for Apple is the phone and app store. The App Store, while big in itself, is insignificant to Apple's revenue stream. Which makes me think you are not really familiar with how it breaks down. Apple's revenue is ~230 billion. Alphabet is around ~80 billion. iPhone revenues were 68 of that, the iPad is 9%+, the Mac another 9%, services is 8% and other products (Apple TV, Apple Watch) around 5%. You could kill the iPhone today and still have a killer company the size of Alphabet. As for the "blip of the radar" regarding the Apple cloud services: http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/04/20/as-a-standalone-company-apples-services-business-could-be-worth-as-much-as-260b-piper-jaffray-says http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/04/20/as-a-standalone-co...
