Apple's financial reports and behavior the last few years make it clear their priorities are not with the Mac, but with iOS. For better or worse, Apple is a smartphone company that happens to make computers on the side.



It's not even an electronics company anymore, is a luxury goods company.

Apple makes computer and operating system way before it entered the mobile market. The first part is right, but your second part is inaccurate historically.


Yeah but to phrase it pointedly, to what degree does Apple consider Macs to be basically development kits for iOS apps? It's very clear that iPhones make the big cash.
