   Not quite. The iPhone and "services" (App Store, Music, TV, iCloud,   
   etc.) are the big money makers for Apple, but the Mac still makes more   
   money than the iPad. Almost everything Apple sells makes them profit.   
      
   It depends whose figures you want to believe (especially as Apple   
   doesn't report such things fully), but this is one version and roughly   
   the same as most others ...   
      
       In fiscal year 2025, Apple's revenue by segment is as follows:   
      
          - iPad generated $28.02 B in revenue,   
            representing 6.73% of its total revenue.   
      
          - iPhone generated $209.59 B in revenue,   
            representing 50.36% of its total revenue.   
      
          - Mac generated $33.71 B in revenue,   
            representing 8.1% of its total revenue.   
      
          - Service generated $109.16 B in revenue,   
            representing 26.23% of its total revenue.   
      
          - Wearables, Home and Accessories generated $35.69 B in revenue,   
            representing 8.58% of its total revenue.
