What's amazing is that Apple still managed to grow its profit 125% year over year last quarter. A huge company, hugely profitable, and still hugely growing.


I personally figure it's the Apple Tax, aka very comfortable profit margins, plus the short life cycle of technology.


Yeah, you guys are probably right. Apple's profit margins probably don't have much to do with their profitability.


Unless the margins have grown dramatically, they are unlikely to accounts for Apple's growth this past year. If the margins, high as they are, remain the same, the growth comes from expanding the number of customers they have.
