    Ah I see, You're guessing. (BTW, Google doesn't report gross Play Store revenues either, just the same 30% cut of it that Apple so you'd still be wrong) Please use a different thread to guess in. You have a whole lot of them to choose from where you've already gone off-topic with stock complaints. 
    So you don't think that iOS/OSX has value?

    I'd say at least 20% of an iPhone's value is in iOS. Same with Mac. And that's being ultra conservative seeing that Android phones that have similiar hardware as iPhone sells for 50% less.

    This year Google will have $72 billion in Revenue.
    Apple had $233 billion.

    Apple had $20 billion in services revenue.
    Now multiply Apple's hardware revenue by 20% = $43 billion in software revenue.
    Total is $63 billion in software/services.

    Apple's software/services revenue is very close to Google's total.
    This logic makes my brain hurt.

  • Apple's CarPlay wins Autoblog 2016 Technology of the Year award

    I've never heard of Autoblog.

    19 trackers on their site make me never want to click on anything there ever again.

    Still up up to your old tricks.

    First off, you claimed "Apple does so for the exact reason."  I'm going to need a source for that. Based on the comments made the first time Apple used this chart, and the timing, it's clear they only released this chart to take a shot at Google. iOS developers don't need a version chart to help them decide who to target.

    Secondly, you use the same tactic in your post you always do (concern troll asking what appears to be a legitimate wuestion). You acted as if you weren't sure how Apple counted their numbers when you absolutely knew how they counted. I'm curious why you feign ignorance in your posts? Never mind, I know why. It's part f the concern troll repertoire.
    Tricks? Unlike some posters I don't write something as fact unless I'm darn sure it's correct. I wasn't certain where AI was sourcing their numbers when I posted, and assumed it was the numbers based on App Store visits. Odd that it concerned you in any way but thanks for at least confirming what I thought the numbers meant.

    ...and concern troll? LOL! What would the concern be. Nice attempt at deflection with the added personal insult bonus tho. Some things don't change even with the forum update. Sad too as it's the perfect opportunity for things to become more civil instead of insulting.
    I have come to realize that looking for things to be civil instead of insulting is often hard to come by.

  • Apple allegedly keeping 'close eye' on possible sale of Time Warner, with streaming TV in mind

    techlovertechlover
    If Apple did buy the whole enchilada that would put them in an interesting position to provide the data pipes to millions of customers, a boatload of content to serve on those pipes, as well as move a ton of set-top boxes which I would imagine would be an Apple TV-style set top box.

    Fun to think about. Not sure how likely it would be in reality though.
