> Mac revenue today represents only 10% of total sales; in 2006, it was 38% Wait... what? The Mac was only 38% of Apple's revenue in 2006?

  The iPod already represented significant revenue in 2006.

    Yes, certainly. In fact I actually checked their Q4 2005 results and the iPod generated 1,212 M and the Mac 1,611M. I knew the iPod was popular at the time (I had one) but never expected it to be that much. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/pdfs/q405data_sum.pdf https://www.apple.com/newsroom/pdfs/q405data_sum.pdf

      I feel like popular is an understatement—they were everywhere. They basically were the MP3 player market, and that was in turn how just about everyone listened to music. I can't say that today about the iPhone.
