Products generated about 72% of Apple's $109.4 billion in fiscal 2026 third-quarter revenue, but the article argues the services segment, including the App Store, iCloud, Apple Music and Apple TV, is the more important story. Services brought in $30.7 billion, about 28% of sales, with a 75.6% gross margin versus 40.1% for products, meaning Apple keeps about 76 cents of gross profit per services dollar versus about 40 cents per product dollar. Services accounted for about 42% of quarterly gross profit. Services revenue rose 12% year over year but fell from $31 billion in the prior quarter, and the next earnings report is due Nov. 2. With a $4.9 trillion market cap and 35 times forward earnings as of Oct. 9, the article says rapid growth is harder to come by, but the high-margin services business makes the stock worth further consideration.
