Apple’s iPhone business is bigger than Microsoft

February 11, 2012 |  by  |  Apple, Microsoft, News  |  No Comments

Apple's iPhone business alone is now bigger than Microsoft. Not Windows. Not Office. Microsoft. The iPhone did not exist five years ago. And now it's bigger than a company that, 15 years ago, was dragged into court and threatened with forcible break-up because it had amassed an unassailable and unthinkably profitable monopoly. The iPhone also appears to be considerably more profitable than Microsoft. In the December quarter, Apple's iPhone business generated $24.4 billion of revenue. Microsoft's whole company, meanwhile, from Windows to Office to servers to XBox, generated $20.9 billion. Thanks businessinsider
