Apple "services" revenue includes the App Store. So their biggest competitor is the Google Play Store.

Ah good point. Though even then, I looked up googles annual revenue for 2022 on the play store and it’s some 40B for the year (can’t find quarterly for some reason).

That’s still impressive for Apple given everything totalled from their top competitors is roughly equal to their own services.

AppleCare+ is also included in services revenue.

I believe Google's special deal with Apple to be the default search engine in Safari is a part of services revenue.
