Doesn’t Apple still make most of its money from Mac sales?
I think most people will tell you that so far Steve Jobs has been the key ingredient to success for Apple. Hopefully going forward that won’t be the case, but it has been in the past. His return signaled a definite change in their fortunes.
Mr. Blonde, you said to SJSAMPLE — “Doesn’t Apple still make most of its money from Mac sales?”

I’ve seen Swordmaker post the stats on that. And yes, I believe that’s what I saw in those stats. It’s still the majority of the money made from Macintosh sales, and has been all along.
But, who knows... perhaps in the future there will be a “whole barnload” of products that will be making money for Apple, besides just the Macintosh computers... :-)
Most of their revenue, but not their profit, IIRC.
The iPods kept them afloat and the iPhone has re-energized sales and interest.
I really admire their design staff on these products.
The interfaces are what make them work, and they’re a generation ahead of anybody else.
