Analysis
Apple's long-term advantage is its integrated stack — silicon, OS, hardware, and services — pulling more margin to the platform owner over time. Services revenue keeps compounding as the installed base grows, and share repurchases have been a relentless tailwind to per-share economics.
Risks to watch: regulatory pressure on App Store economics, China exposure, and the slow rate of genuinely new product categories.
