What chance can anyone else have if the Mac Pro is doomed if iPhone sales dip?
- philistine 4y agoPeople have not updated their opinions with regards to facts since 2008. It might actually be new information to that person that Apple is now the most profitable company in the existence of the human race.
- UltraViolence 4y agoThe reason Apple is so profitable is because of the iPhone. The Macs aren't bringing in all that much money and I'm postulating that Mac will lose a lot of market share because they ditched the x86 architecture. Although revenue for Mac is still increasing (most likely because they're making even more profit by using their own CPU) the sales are already softening.
