Apple dominates Fortune 500 2013
Quote:
Apple landed at No. 6 on this year's Fortune 500 list, the only tech company to crack the top 10.
Facebook, meanwhile, made its first appearance on the top 500.
Apple was at No. 17 in 2012, and its entrance into the top 10 proves that it's "bigger than ever," Fortune said, despite some setbacks.
"At Apple's press event this past October, it maintained more than disrupted with its software upgrades and iPad mini announcement," the magazine said. "Also, this past year has seen a lot of CEO Tim Cook having to apologize," from the Apple Maps to warranty issues in China.
"Still, when every executive wants to invent the iPod of [insert company name], Apple remains an innovative icon," Forbes concluded.
Cupertino's real story is its profits, according to Fortune managing editor Leigh Gallagher, who told CBS This Morning (video below) that had the list been based on profits instead of revenues, Apple would have landed in the No. 2 spot, behind Exxon. In fact, Apple's profits were greater than Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Intel, and Dell combined, the next five highest-ranked Fortune 500 tech companies in the world.

It's not like this wasn't expected, any fool can see that the general public thinks of Apple as "luxury". Not to mention that they love well done gimmicks such as Siri.
Now that I think about it, the similarities between the Wii and the iPhone are endless.

I don't see how anyone can trash either the iPod or iPhone. They are literally two of the most influential and revolutionary products in the history of the consumer electronics industry. The iPhone was the greatest catalyst in the biggest shift computing has seen since its establishment as a major commercial industry.

In related news of unmatchable success, Apple's iPhone was the most profitable product in America.
Tea.
It pays off lavishly to be the trailblazer.

Same crap as arguing for pop stars, sports teams, and actors. All of which know nothing and don't care about your existence.

You need to stop with the "vile" Samung thing
These are COMPANIES we're talking about. Let's not act like Apple is a saint, with multiple lawsuits to Samsung because they felt threatened.

Contradicting himself once again.
And not him jumping for a second on the Apple bandwagon in order to use their popularity to drag Samsung stans. That's like a Ciara stan pretending to stan for Adele to shade someone else.
Pathetic.
