That is astonishing. What an accomplishment. I can easily recall the days of the Mac Plus, when Apple was hardly a blip on the radar screen of Microsoft, IBM (hey, remember IBM??).
In short, for all its size, there is still plenty of room for Apple to grow, especially in the non-iPhone revenue portion.
The end of one decade of expansion, the start of the next decade of growth.
