http://www.everysecond.io/youtube/ suggests that the ad revenue is less than what it takes to run YouTube. Is it really a loss making business?

Yes. YouTube exists solely to protect Google search.

I was really surprised with the R&D number and thought it was incorrect since I knew the spending to be small. Just checked that in the last 2/3 years there has been a major upgrade in R&D spending.

Not sure where all the money is going though. There hasn't been any major breakthrough improvement in Apple tech to match the spending. Any big stealth project? What does everyone thinks?

Nice UI btw.

The big jump in R&D will most likely go into project Titan, their stealth car project.

Apple has a lot of side projects, including alleged driverless-car software.

They're looking to branch out again from their traditional field.
