OS X and iOS sell Apple hardware.

Yes, Apple's income technically comes mostly from hardware, but all that would dry up without their software.
- philwelch 16y agoHonestly, if I needed a Windows notebook, I'd still be pretty tempted to go with Apple hardware. Conversely, I'd be loath to carry around a Dell or HP box, even with Mac OS X installed. Apple's hardware is a positive competitive advantage, not just a lock-in scheme for them to extort more money for their software.
