Not really. You could say that the iPhone still carries the company, but with the exception of that outlier newer initiatives like Services and Wearables/Home/Accessories bring in way more money than products that Steve Jobs launched (Mac and iPad).
- endorphone 7y agoNot really? Then you casually say "if you exclude the iPhone" which kind of undercuts the entire argument, doesn't it? 70% of Apple revenue comes from the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Services revenue is entirely and absolutely based upon that, and certainly didn't originate post Jobs. Even the Watch -- have one and love it -- exists on the back of the iPhone. So, yeah, really. Everything Apple has done that has been successful since Jobs is entirely in the halo of the iPhone, which of course still accounts for the vast bulk of Apple's profits.
