Apple announced that it now has 1 billion paying subscribers to its services and that revenue from these sales has reached an all-time high.
In its third-quarter financial results, reported after the stock market closed on Aug. 3, Apple reported $21 billion in net sales for its services category out of $81 billion in total net sales, meaning that these subscriptions now account for a quarter of the Cupertino, California-based technology company’s total sales.
My point was that everything is going over to subscription services and eventually it’s going to flood other markets too, such as shopping because it’s a money maker. It’s great Apple is doing well for itself, there was some struggling years, it’s crazy how much they make off subscriptions alone. Not hating on the player, hating the game.
