- ChuckNorris89 6y agoThat's great, but the problem is Apple makes x1000 more money selling phones than Siemens and Philips do selling MRI machines.
- mattkrause 6y agoIt's much closer than you'd think. Apple's 2020 revenue was ~$US 250B; Siemen's 2019 revenue was ~$US $100B.
- dogma1138 6y agoThat’s Siemens’ global revenue including things like battleships and wind turbine farms.
- mattkrause 6y ago...and Apple's from music, apps, books, and PCs. My point is that these companies, while not as massively dominant as Apple, are still very relevant in their own markets. It's just that everyone wants a phone, while fewer people are on the hunt for heavy equipment. The part which I should have made more explicit is “Big American electric conglomerate” also sells MRI stuff, but my impression is that it’s not often one of the front runners, so it’s not as though European companies just can’t compete.....
