You don’t seem to realize that Apple’s profits come mostly from hardware sales.

They don't. They come from the new "Services" division.

  Nope that’s complete bullshit. Do some googling.

    "Apple CFO Luca Maestri said that Apple's install base of devices hit a new all-time high as well, which helps drive services growth." "Cloud services, Apple Music , advertising, video, and payments saw all-time revenue records, while the App Store saw a new June quarter revenue record." "Services brought in $17.5 billion during the quarter" https://www.macrumors.com/2021/07/27/apple-services-revenue-q3-2021/ https://www.macrumors.com/2021/07/27/apple-services-revenue-... "The Company posted a June quarter record revenue of $81.4 billion" https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/07/apple-reports-third-quarter-results/ https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/07/apple-reports-third-q... => Services is already 22% of their revenue and their strongest growth segment.

      Yes. As I said, Apple’s profits come mostly from hardware sales. Thanks for posting data proving me right. You probably should have googled that before you made your false claim. Not after.

They don't, but even if they did, that has nothing to do with my comment.

  They do. If you don’t know that, your comment is misinformed.

    Again, even if that was true, and I believe you are conflating profits and revenue here, it has nothing to do with my comment, which was about Apple refusing to make the ecosystem more open because it wouldn’t bring any significant financial profit.

      It is true. It’s not hard to check it. If you want to proceed with this line of discussion, you should do some googling rather than persisting with false claims.

        What’s false about Apple not opening its ecosystem because it wouldn’t result in financial profit? They could, they just choose not to because there is no money to be made out of that.

You don’t seem to realize that Apple’s profits come mostly from hardware sales.
