Services with a share of 21.5 percent
The following diagram shows which areas of the group the sales come from. The driving force with a share of almost 49 percent is still the iPhone, which has sold extremely well. The fact that Apple has developed into an iPhone and services company over the past few years is shown by the services share of around 21.5 percent of sales. With services such as Apple Music, Apple TV +, Apple Arcade, iCloud and others, Apple is likely to have pushed the gross margin up because there are no production costs in the actual sense, but primarily operating costs for servers and infrastructure. The margin is correspondingly high.
Popular Apple Watch and AirPods
Sales with the Mac, which except for a few devices have been converted to Apple Silicon, which keeps the costs for chips in-house instead of transferring them to Intel, has risen by over 16 percent. The iPad and Apple Watch, which grew by 12 percent and 36 percent respectively, were also in demand. The Apple Watch falls into the larger area of “Wearables, Home and Accessories”, which also includes the popular AirPods, which should also have their share of the growth, although Apple does not report the figures individually.
