"most of its cash cow (iPhone) is due to Mac" Almost certainly untrue. Most iphone users are still Windows PC users. Yes the developer community is important

"most of its cash cow (iPhone) is due to Mac"
Almost certainly untrue. Most iphone users are still Windows PC users. Yes the developer community is important to the iOS app lead, but most of that is due to the self selecting group of people who purchase iphones - people willing to pay for things.
- mishac 10y agoIt's more indirect than that: the apps exist because of Mac using developers. Without the developers having access to Xcode/Swift/etc the quality and number of apps would decline in favor of android.
