| Yeah, they are good at hiding profits
and they are an ADV company which dominated the mobile market because it was strategic, they don't need to profit from selling (and manufacturing) the HW, they just need your screen time You think Google lied under discovery? Oracle wasn’t just counting their meager hardware sells but they were also counting as sales, Google Play revenue etc. And it's almost impossible to own an android devices without Google SW on it. There is a country that has over 1 billion people running Android with no Google Services. That's not really true, and iPhone revenues are declining every year. And it’s still about the same as MS’s revenue last quarter at 38 billion If Apple loses the mobile market, it's finished. Apple is far more diversified than Google. Almost all of Google’s profits come from advertising, 48% of Apple’s revenue come from the iPhones. The Mac business by itself is about the size of McDonald’s the last time I checked. Estimates for Youtube is that it’s barely profitable if at all. |
I think the known taxable profits are only a fraction of the real profits.
Don't jump to conclusions, just because you wanna prove a point.
> There is a country that has over 1 billion people running Android with no Google Services.
so you're agreeing with me: it's almost impossible, the alternative is live in China and give up your freedom.
Because you can't use Chinese services outside China.
There's also that.
Anyway Google China it's a thing.
And at this point I would prefer China spying on me than Google.
Maybe Europe should start banning US services as well...
> Apple is far more diversified than Google.
Is it?
Mac HW is less than 10% of their revenues.
What else they produce?
Could Apple really survive out of wearables or iPads or iCloud without iPhones?
I seriously doubt it.
> Estimates for Youtube is that it’s barely profitable if at all.
Nobody knows how big YouTube really is
Estimates are in the range 16-25 billion dollars / year
