Obviously they do both hardware and software but is it fair to say they are mainly a hardware company?

    They’re a vertically integrated company, and more of a data company than people recognize.

      One example, which an article in the journal pointed out this morning, is that iMessage is probably the world’s most active social network. Think for a few minutes and you will come up with a dozen more examples of the valuable data troves they posses.

      Imessenger is the worlds largest social media company. Does that mean there are more iPhone users than Facebook accounts

    It’s definitely mix of both.
    However there is always going to be limitation on hardware so they are focusing more on services and software.

    If you are Apple fan then Just ask yourself will you buy iPhone hardware with android or other OS and services ?

    Or are you ok with buying Samsung or any other hardware phone with Apple OS and services ?

    I'm surprised this question is being asked. A majority of Apple's profit comes from sales of their hardware - not their services or software. Their M1 chip outperformed anything Intel produced for similar purposes despite being the hardware king for decades now.

  • What are your favorite things about apple products? If it’s the user interface and software feature, then that’s what it is and that’s what makes them different from competitors
