      Yeah, it seems to be an astute and honest assessment of the situation. It’s rare for even a major and innovative company to ever come close to the iPhone’s profitability. Accepting that that one success should be seen as an outlier in its magnitude is better for everyone.

    It doesn’t mean they won’t be more profitable though…just means the hardware isn’t going to be as profitable.
