    lol. A 0.008608321377331 drop in phone sales revenue is “slumping”?

    Good one. More in line with the text itself “marginal”. 

    Buy a better headline writer. 
    Not clear where you got that number, that had neither a per cent symbol nor a unit after it. iPhone sales revenue declined $600M. While that's notch in terms of the overall sales picture for Apple, it's a fair chunk of change. I mean, would you turn $600M down if someone offered it to you?

    It’s less than 1%.  Hardly “slumping”.   Problem is Wall Street culture, and those who write about it expecting exponential growth not just in the bottom line, but  individual segments as well.  Meanwhile, Apple is selling almost a quarter trillion dollars worth of iPhones every year.

  • Apple's biggest innovation of the last 25 years isn't the iPhone

    For the love of Pete, it’s BALDFACED, not boldfaced.  As for the content, it just a history on macOS development. And yes, I totally disagree that the iPhone isn’t the single biggest innovation.   The graphical user interface was always going to evolve. But it alone didn’t drive Mac sales in almost any respect. What made Apple the company it is today was the iPod and the iPhone.  Both products turned, Apple into more than a computer company, but almost a lifestyle brand. They laid the foundation for the iPad, accessories, etc.
