Services, which include iCloud, Apple Music, search licensing and App Store fees, continued growing strongly, rising 25% annually to $19.52 billion.

Keeps blowing my mind how consistently services keep growing. Highest margins too. Just printing money!

Just wish the quality control was the same as in the Jobs era.

I have never bought an Apple device that so much as had a spec of dust in the box.

But I’ve never had a Dell or HP laptop come without a bezel scratch or something like that. So in my books, Apple are still a league ahead on quality, even.

This means we will soon enough have a situation where a corporation controls the primary medium of communication of the citizens. At this point a smart society would consider how to regulate this situation to safely prevent domination abuse, but I doubt it will happen.
