Apple announced that it now has 1 billion paying subscribers to its services and that revenue from these sales has reached an all-time high.
In its third-quarter financial results, reported after the stock market closed on Aug. 3, Apple reported $21 billion in net sales for its services category out of $81 billion in total net sales, meaning that these subscriptions now account for a quarter of the Cupertino, California-based technology company’s total sales.
Actually, I find this better than offering free products. This way I am not the product.
I mean, I only pay like 3 € for the cloud save since it’s cheaper than Microsoft‘s plan.
And I am not one of them. Fuck subscriptions, I only have my phone plan and thats it.
On related news, Apple announces that they will ship a microscopic piece of His Sacred Turtleneck inside every iPhone 15, thus making them sacred to their cult members.
As a celebration, members will see an increase in their service prices of up to 15%.
@VitoCorleone @mxwarp how do I pre order? 😅
So… how’s worker compensation looking these days?
I just signed up for apple one premier this week. I’ve actually done a lot to avoid getting locked in to apple in the past. I never subscribed to iCloud and instead used google photos and self hosted for picture storage. I still have some hang ups with how iCloud Drive works compared to O365 and google drive but apple has the best ecosystem overall. I think the only thing missing is a mesh system Wi-Fi with integrated HomePods like google has with Nest Wi-Fi
