The more money this company makes the worse the products seem to get (maybe not worse but “meh” compared to the quality they used to put out), at least that has been the case under Tim Cook’s Apple. They seem to be good enough for most people though because it is still Apple and the brand more or less sells itself at this point with some of their stronger points still in tact, like their; ecosystem, stance on privacy, customer service etc that keeps users ‘locked in’. Doesn’t mean their products and software are as good as they could and should be though.
Anyway, I don’t know why we should be jumping for joy over this, they are just numbers. I kind of wish they tanked so then Apple would be forced to make some much needed changes, like reconsidering Jony Ive’s importance within the company and, oh I don’t know... rehiring Forstall so the software doesn’t suck for another 5 years? Their hardware has been WTF’ery as well with their inferior keyboards, severe lack of ports, notches and protruding camera lenses... Jony Ive just isn’t as good without Steve Jobs as his filter. He has become a burden within the company for me by having talented guys like Forstall fired because the poor fella doesn’t like working with him. I’m sure there’s a few other board members there who need to be canned, Cook just seems to can the wrong ones.
