iPhone Business is Worth More Than All But 10 Companies

Published

on

Apple’s iPhone business is worth more than all but  10 companies in the world according to a report by Trefis. According to the analysts, Apple is worth $391 billion, which is 40% more than the current value of the company’s stock. The iPhone business is worth more than half that value, which means if it were spun out on its own it would be worth more $209 billion, which is more than every company on earth with the exceptions of Microsoft, AT&T, Exxon and a few others.

Interestingly, Apple’s apps sales only account for 2.4% of the company’s stock price value, which is a hair below that of iTunes’ music and video sales and rentals.

    ‘According to the analysts . . . ‘

    On what basis, what were their assumptions, prognoses?

      The correct assumption that mentioning Apple and any sort of statistic (trickerated or not) that makes them look good or bad will get their name in the press.

    this can’t be good for Apple as iPhone marketshare keeps going from flat to down, another Windows vs Mac in the making
