Another one from Business Insider - It is not just Apple's ability to evolve, launch new products, and grow revenues. Apple has been able to drive unprecedented margin growth and cash generation. Some bullet points (detailed more HERE a link to the Business Insider Article - Thanks BI)
- Apple has generated $29 billion in cash over the last 6 months - that is $7mm of cash per hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- In Q1 2012, Apple's PROFIT ($11.6 billion) was LARGER than Google's REVENUE ($10.7 billion)
- Apple's iPhone business, which did not exist 5 yrs ago, is now $100 billion in revenues - there are only 53 companies in the world larger than that.
- Together the iPhone and the iPad businesses, again which did not exist 5 yrs ago, alone generate $130 billion in revenue....that is twice the size of Microsoft.

Finally - here is a chart that shows how innovation and the integration of software and hardware has allowed Apple to more than double margins when Micrsoft and Google have seen margins flat to down. (The full article HERE)
