    If we are talking "literally", what you quoted is out of context.
    It is profitable, that's what matters, and revenues are more than double what they were before, that's pretty good, especially considering Apple is losing iPad sales.

    MS is late to the game, but with a superior product. Where it goes we'll have to see.

    Apple has been riding its momentum wave for ages now. If the first iPhone wasn't such a hit, they wouldn't be where they are. There hasn't been anything really great about the last 3-4 versions, just incremental improvements. But with their base, it is an easy upgrade, so they keep raking in the profits. How long they can go off momentum and incremental improvements remains to be seen (iPad sales are plunging, will the iPhone 6s sell as well as the 6? I'll be a lot of money no, but it will sell well).

    • apple stock is at all time highhotroddy
    • Their previous revenues were dismal and resulted in a $1B loss. Doubling that is easy, and still not profitable.monospaced
    • Yes, good that they are selling, but those numbers are actually very bad for a 3rd attempt product.monospaced
    • I can't follow you, they say it is profitable, but you say it is not...why do you say that??formed
