So, Apple had $23.6B in profit this quarter. Their services had a record $23.9B in revenue. A good size chunk (roughly a quarter based on 2022 numbers) of that comes from Google search kickbacks.
That’s an enormous amount of profit but, yeesh, I kind of wish the company wasn’t so tied to services. I love product company Apple a lot more than I like iCloud storage Apple.
