Re: [MacGroup] So do we just start a new mailing list?

[Ed Wiser]

John I have ran an aquarium club for 30 years. We use to have meetings but we 
do everything online now as it’s hard to get people to come out. 
We have a private Facebook group. But Facebook is so toxic now. I would want to 
have us go there. There are mailing list sites. One of our members suggested 
that which is fine with me. 
There are many app’s for groups that are out there Slack

https://slack.com/pricing

Band

Discord

https://discordapp.com/download

Any many others. 

What direction do you want a mailing list or a team app.

Re: [MacGroup] The Hack of a Famous iPhone

[Ed Wiser]

I posted earlier this week a Phishing email screen shot. Of an “Apple” email 
with a windows document attached that I was suppose to open. 
I did not open it I sent it to Apple Phishing  with the file attached included. 
Never open an attachment unless you asked some one to send you something. Even 
then ask the person if they sent you a file before opening. 
To many times we get in a hurry and open with out thinking. 
I have gotten three phishing emails this week in the Same style. Everyone was 
sent to Apple. Never open an attachment before checking it out. Look at the 
email addresses tap and hold to see the actual email address the name you see 
can be spoofed. Just like phone calls can be spoofed to show the 502 area code 
from India they can spoof addresses to.

Re: [MacGroup] Tivo and YouTube TV

[Ed Wiser]

There’s is Channel’s and a Homerun DVR server 

https://getchannels.com/dvr-server/

You can have the app on an Apple TV and then a Homerun DVR server. 
This is a more high tech solution. 

Really the future of tv is on demand 
Viewing.  Everything one would want is available on the net now days. 

You can not record easily of a streaming service like YouTube tv on to and 
other device.

Re: [MacGroup] Tivo and YouTube TV

[Ed Wiser]

YouTube tv has its own cloud DVR. 
To use it your best choice is a AppleTV. 
Here is a review of it. 

https://youtu.be/94kPJ9mcJ8Y

TiVo is for use with cable or over the air tv. 
It does have streaming app’s but doesn’t have the streaming Tv 
App’s it just has YouTube and Hulu but not the IPTV versions. 

So it depends on what your choice is for do you want to do streaming tv or over 
the air and cable recording.

Re: [MacGroup] Spectrum Has To Go

[Ed Wiser]

I would go with a OTA TiVo. 
The problem with doing recordings on a Mac you need a tv schedule.  An that is 
what you pay TiVo for. Their box is always getting g an updated tv schedule. I 
have used them for 25 years and they are solid boxes. They use Linux and have a 
special software that constantly defrag’s the hard drive space that you use to 
record the shows. You will have to do this yourself on the Mac mini. 
The TiVo also will skip most network tv commercials.  

You could also get YouTube Tv an “record” shows.

The problem is that widgets are depreciated which is developer speak for not

weather data this past January making the widget point to an address that 
doesn’t exist anymore. 
Dashboard will be no more with the next version of MacOS.

[MacGroup] Apple Store in Southern California Warning Customers About Fraudulent Phone Calls

[Ed Wiser]

MacRumors: Mac News and Rumors - Front Page
Apple Store in Southern California Warning Customers About Fraudulent Phone 
Calls

Apple is warning customers who receive unsolicited phone calls claiming to be 
from the Apple Store at The Americana at Brand shopping complex in Glendale, 
California, as fraudsters appear to be posing as representatives of the store 
as part of a phishing scheme aimed at stealing customer information. 

 
The following automated message plays when calling Apple The Americana:
Apple is aware that some customers are receiving unsolicited calls claiming to 
be from this Apple Store. If you receive an unsolicited call, you should not 
provide any information to the callers. For more information on cybercrime and 
ways to protect your computer, visit www.fbi.gov/investigate/cyber. Also, if 
you feel you have been a victim of fraud, please contact your local police. If 
you would like help changing your Apple ID password, please visit 
support.apple.com.
Apple did not immediately respond to our question asking if any customer 
information has been compromised, but it did point us to a previous instance of 
this warning at its River Park Square store in Spokane, Washington in October 
2017. 

In that case, the local CBS affiliate KREM 2 reported that customers in Spokane 
received phone calls from a number that appeared to be the local Apple Store, 
advising they talk to a "support advisor" who informed customers about a false 
"breach in cloud security" in an attempt to steal their information. 

Our understanding is that Apple temporarily adds this automated message to 
stores associated with an increase in fraudulent behavior in an effort to 
protect customers. Apple is far from the only company affected by phishing 
schemes and offers several tips on how to avoid being victimized. 

Apple advises customers who receive an unsolicited call from someone claiming 
to be from Apple to hang up and contact Apple directly. 

This is an opportune moment to remind everyone that phishing attacks can also 
be in the form of emails, so be very careful when you receive an email that 
claims to be from Apple, especially if prompted to provide your password or 
other information. Be sure to contact Apple if you are uncertain about any 
email.

Re: [MacGroup] Any Way?

Not that I have ever found. Each file has a content flag set on it causing the 
content not to be removed. 
I found this out with my TiVo which you can download shows to a computer. But 
so channels had the flags and did not allow downloads   
Get a TiVo with a cable card and ditch the spectrum box.  Or subscribe to the 
new spectrum app for 15 bucks. 

scammers are growing more clever and scams are getting harder to distinguish 
from actual Apple communication. 

On his Krebs on Security site, security researcher Brian Krebs today outlined 
one of the latest phishing scams he's seen, where an incoming phone call 
appears to be from a legitimate Apple support line. 

As described by Krebs, Jody Westby, CEO of security consulting firm Global 
Cyber Risk, received an automated call on her iPhone warning her that services 
containing Apple user IDs had been compromised. 

The message asked her to call a 1-866 number, and in the Phone app, the call 
looked like a call from Apple, with the number listed as 1(800)MYAPPLE, the 
name listed as Apple Inc., and with Apple's Infinite Loop website. 

Westby contacted Apple support via the official Apple Support page and asked 
for an employee to contact her. She was assured that the call was not 
legitimate, but when looking in her recent calls list, she saw that real 
support call had been lumped in with the fake call. 


Original scam call info on the left, with scam call info lumped in with actual 
Apple support call on right.

The scammers spoofed Apple's phone number and the iPhone was unable to 
distinguish between the real and fake calls, making it look like Westby had, in 
fact, been contacted by Apple multiple times, when that was not the case. 
Westby told Krebs that this is a convincing scam that people may fall for.
"I told the Apple representative that they ought to be telling people about 
this, and he said that was a good point," Westby said. "This was so convincing 
I'd think a lot of other people will be falling for it."
Krebs went ahead and called the number that the scammers had asked Westby to 
call, where an automated system claimed he had reached Apple Support. A minute 
later, a person came on the line and asked about the reason for the call. Krebs 
responded that he was told to call about a breach at Apple, was placed on hold, 
and the call disconnected with no resolution. 

A similar report hit Twitter this morning from Fantastical developer Michael 
Simmons, who says he received a scam phone call that also spoofed Apple's 
number. 

I just got a scam call from “Apple” with their caller ID spoofed! The voicemail 
was their robodialer, so it got clipped off, but I heard “So not perform any 
online activities. Press 1 to speak with an AppleCare agent.”

Be careful out 
there!!https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__t.co_FqeYG8lvd9=DwIFaQ=OAG1LQNACBDguGvBeNj18Swhr9TMTjS-x4O_KuapPgY=F2GFXrjLFqVo3VwvIlo_XYeEiRRjHv15rxcenz7A21woG2aFGcrzndoSsskxfmOs=eN4cXOsu4Lh7u4pwHFav2jJMcyvMjyWZy4gRhKQdKB4=D9tdfJiiHuTsurPFQU0taeAXtA0tKYuvl3xNDJH_hhE=

Krebs believes scammers are aiming to obtain personal and financial details 
from Apple users to get payment, perhaps for tech support services. As he 
rightly points out, it is both shocking and concerning that Apple devices are 
unable to tell the difference between a legitimate call from Apple and someone 
attempting to spoof Apple. 

With these kind of phone-based scams, it's a good idea to disconnect the call 
and get in touch with Apple via the actual support site to avoid being fooled. 
Apple support does not cold call users in this manner, so these calls are 
almost always fake, but scammers are skilled social engineers and people do 
fall for these scams. 

Apple has a dedicated support page with information on how to avoid fake 
support calls, phishing emails, and other scam techniques that malicious 
individuals employ to extract information from Apple users.

As some one who takes care of elderly parents. I can see the value of 
driverless cars. As I their current driver.  I can also see many younger 
people who have not grown up in a car culture using a car as a conveyance and 
not something that their ego is defined by. As in many big cities cars are not 
needed due to good public transportation. Which car companies destroyed post 
world war 2 in many smaller cities to create the demand for cars. An today’s 
governments can not get tax support to develop public transportation.

Tom what are you wanting to use the VPN for?
Many use it to watch tv from other countries. 
I have found in this case using a DNS service works best. Especially if you 
like to watch the BBC.  They have serious VPN sniffing detection on iplayer. 
But DNS makes it work all the time.

[MacGroup] Unlike Costco, Walmart Has 'No Plans' to Accept Apple Pay

[Ed Wiser]

MacRumors: Mac News and Rumors - Front Page
Unlike Costco, Walmart Has 'No Plans' to Accept Apple Pay
Costco, the world's second largest retailer behind Walmart, recently confirmed 
that it now accepts Apple Pay and other contactless payment methods at all of 
its 750 warehouse locations in the United States. 

 
Walmart appears to be unfazed by the move, however, as it remains committed to 
its own Walmart Pay platform in the United States. 

"Walmart Pay is the exclusive form of mobile payment accepted at Walmart and we 
have no plans for that to change," said Walmart spokesperson Erin Hulliberger, 
in a statement provided to MacRumors today. 

Walmart Pay, built into the Walmart app for iOS and Android, works at any 
checkout lane with any major credit, debit, pre-paid, or Walmart gift card. To 
use it, a customer must tap on Walmart Pay and scan the QR code displayed at 
the checkout. An electronic receipt is automatically sent to the app. 



Walmart was originally committed to the Merchant Customer Exchange consortium 
and its payments solution CurrentC, which was later postponed indefinitely, 
before launching Walmart Pay in 2015. As of July 2016, Walmart has rolled out 
Walmart Pay to some 4,600 of its locations in all 50 states. 

In late 2015, Walmart's senior vice president of services Daniel Eckert said 
Walmart Pay allows "for integration of other mobile wallets in the future," 
which provided hope that the big-box chain may eventually accept Apple Pay and 
other contactless payments, but nearly three years later, that has yet to 
happen. 

Walmart's resistance to Apple Pay continues despite many other large retailers, 
including Best Buy, Rite Aid, and now Costco, reversing course and accepting 
the payments solution in stores. Apple recently confirmed that pharmacy chain 
CVS and 7-Eleven convenience stores will also accept Apple Pay starting later 
this year. 

Last year, rival big-box chain Target likewise said it had "no plans" to make 
Apple Pay available in its stores, despite accepting it as a payment method in 
its app. Instead, Target launched a barcode-based solution. 

Apple Pay launched in the United States in October 2014, providing tap-to-pay 
functionality with a compatible iPhone or Apple Watch after setting up a 
supported credit or debit card in the Wallet app. Apple Pay is now available in 
more than 20 countries, and is set to launch in Germany later this year.

Re: [MacGroup] Help with iPhone

[Ed Wiser]

Have never seen this type of setting anywhere. 
As it is expected for you to pick up where you left off when you open the phone 
again.  If one wanted to do that you could just double chick the home button 
and tap on the screen to return to the home screen before locking the screen. 
Takes to seconds to do. I do it all the time. It’s not a setting in the 
operating system. It would be like asking for the Mac to minimize all apps when 
I shut the lid on my laptop when I close the lid. Instead the Mac stays where 
you left it when you log back on. Windows does the same when coming out of 
sleep it returns to what applications are open. This is a basic computer 
practice that hasn’t changed since computers came on to the market. As I said  
one can train yourself to do this if that is ones wish.

A new phishing scam discovered by Ars Technica has upped the complexity of

a system dialog box to start a phone call to a call center impersonating Apple

Re: [MacGroup] iPad Activation Lock

[Ed Wiser]

Is this a pop up during a web browser session? If so it is not a system wide 
issue. My wife gets these all the time from websites. When she is reading an 
article someone post’s on Facebook. It’s an ad for software or a subscription 
to a service in most cases.

[MacGroup] Announcing 1.1.1.1: the fastest, privacy-first consumer DNS service

[Ed Wiser]

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__blog.cloudflare.com_announcing-2D_=DwIFaQ=OAG1LQNACBDguGvBeNj18Swhr9TMTjS-x4O_KuapPgY=F2GFXrjLFqVo3VwvIlo_XYeEiRRjHv15rxcenz7A21woG2aFGcrzndoSsskxfmOs=DwYi2adPi_pWiJFnOtZ5ano6tJYaPnN6ubj9h9oSZwI=7vrpOqot0Rs6Pu2gJDGUdJPOGISC17HlsYUtjsMLFzk=

Announcing 1.1.1.1: the fastest, privacy-first consumer DNS service
Matthew Prince01 Apr 2018
Cloudflare's mission is to help build a better Internet. We're excited today to 
take another step toward that mission with the launch of 1.1.1.1 — the 
Internet's fastest, privacy-first consumer DNS service. This post will talk a 
little about what that is and a lot about why we decided to do it. (If you're 
interested in the technical details on how we built the service, check out 
Ólafur Guðmundsson's accompanying post.)

Quick Primer On DNS

DNS is the directory of the Internet. Whenever you click on a link, send an 
email, open a mobile app, often one of the first things that has to happen is 
your device needs to look up the address of a domain. There are two sides of 
the DNS network: Authoritative (the content side) and Resolver (the consumer 
side).

Every domain needs to have an Authoritative DNS provider. Cloudflare, since our 
launch in September 2010, has run an extremely fast and widely-used 
Authoritative DNS service. 1.1.1.1 doesn't (directly) change anything about 
Cloudflare's Authoritative DNS service.

On the other side of the DNS system are resolvers. Every device that connects 
to the Internet needs a DNS resolver. By default, these resolvers are 
automatically set by whatever network you're connecting to. So, for most 
Internet users, when they connect to an ISP, or a coffee shop wifi hot spot, or 
a mobile network then the network operator will dictate what DNS resolver to 
use.

DNS's Privacy Problem

The problem is that these DNS services are often slow and not privacy 
respecting. What many Internet users don't realize is that even if you're 
visiting a website that is encrypted — has the little green lock in your 
browser — that doesn't keep your DNS resolver from knowing the identity of all 
the sites you visit. That means, by default, your ISP, every wifi network 
you've connected to, and your mobile network provider have a list of every site 
you've visited while using them.

Network operators have been licking their chops for some time over the idea of 
taking their users' browsing data and finding a way to monetize it. In the 
United States, that got easier a year ago when the Senate voted to eliminate 
rules that restricted ISPs from selling their users' browsing data. With all 
the concern over the data that companies like Facebook and Google are 
collecting on you, it worries us to now add ISPs like Comcast, Time Warner, and 
AT to the list. And, make no mistake, this isn't a US-only problem — ISPs 
around the world see the same privacy-invading opportunity.

DNS's Censorship Problem

But privacy concerns extend far beyond just ad targeting. Cloudflare operates 
Project Galileo to protect at no cost politically or artistically important 
organizations around the world from cyber attack. Through the project we 
protect groups like LGBTQ organizations targeted in the Middle East, 
journalists covering political corruption in Africa, human rights workers in 
Asia, and bloggers on the ground covering the conflict in Crimea. We're really 
proud of the project and we're really good at stopping cyber attacks launched 
at its participants.

But it's been depressing to us to watch all too frequently how DNS can be used 
as a tool of censorship against many of the groups we protect. While we're good 
at stopping cyber attacks, if a consumer's DNS gets blocked there's been 
nothing we could do to help.



In March 2014, for instance, the government of Turkey blocked Twitter after 
recordings showing a government corruption scandal leaked online. The Internet 
was censored by the country's ISP's DNS resolvers blocking DNS requests for 
twitter.com. People literally spray painted 8.8.8.8, the IP of Google's DNS 
resolver service, on walls to help fellow Turks get back online. Google's DNS 
resolver is great, but diversity is good and we thought we could do even better.

Building a Consumer DNS Service

The insecurity of the DNS infrastructure struck the team at Cloudflare as a bug 
at the core of the Internet, so we set out to do something about it. Given we 
run one of the largest, most interconnected global networks — and have a lot of 
experience with DNS — we were well positioned to launch a consumer DNS service. 
We began testing and found that a resolver, running across our global network, 
outperformed any of the other consumer DNS services available (including 
Google's 8.8.8.8). That was encouraging.

We began talking with browser manufacturers about what they would want from a 
DNS resolver. One word kept coming up: privacy. Beyond just a commitment not to 
use browsing data to help

Well it wouldn’t.  It’s not for viewing you have to down load the file and then 
unison expands it into a movie file.  It might be a mkv file which a lot of the 
video files are now days and that requires another app to turn it into a mpeg4 
file to play on Apple TV or on the computer.

This is just because the app is not signed.  Just turn it off in your security

Harry this is a Usenet provider. All internet providers use to give you access 
to Usenet. 
Usenet was one of the original parts of the internet.  Before the web browser 
made the different parts one in the browser.  The movie you are looking is 
surely on Usenet. Everything is on Usenet. You will need a Usenet client to 
access the file. As the service is just a server log on I have used Unison for 
years. The best Mac Usenet client.

You change the DNS settings on your router. 
I like it in that I don’t have to deal with speed issues and every device uses 
it.  Example I have iPlayer the BBC app on my AppleTv. I just use it like any 
other app on the tv. It’s great.

Re: [MacGroup] Netflix and VPN

[Ed Wiser]

That’s it David. You see people in other countries want to access Netflix in 
the US as there are shows in the US Netflix that they want to watch. Just as 
overseas Netflix has the new Star Trek series and people want to watch that 
instead of paying for CBS all access. They just started doing this a year and a 
half ago.  As you use to be able log into the British Netflix and watch show 
from there. 
I use unlocator which a DNS. Server now as everyone is using VPN’s now to watch 
my BBC ITV An Channel 4 shows.

Re: [MacGroup] iPhone 7 and my 2004 Sienna

[Ed Wiser]

Here is what I use. 

Anker SoundSync Drive Bluetooth 4.0 Car Receiver, Wireless Phone Call & Music 
Streaming Car Kit with Built-in Mic, Music Streaming, Echo and Noise Reduction, 
Multi-Point Access, 3.5mm Aux Cable

This and a dual dc adapter work great. 
With your bluetooth turned on in your iPhone I just hold down the center of the 
Bluetooth receiver and it auto connects.

[MacGroup] Forking The iPhone

[Ed Wiser]

Monday Note - Medium
Forking The iPhone
by Jean-Louis Gassée


After the early fast growth iPhone years, Apple appeared to stumble. Profit and 
revenue began to fall starting in 2013. Now, a bold bet, the iPhone X, covered 
by the iPhone 8, appears on the verge of paying off.

[A delayed Monday Note due to logistics trouble entirely of my own making…]

“Buy the Rumor, Sell the News” is an age-old Wall Street saying. It tells 
speculators to take chances on rumors: Did you hear that Company X will buy 
Company Y and thus will gain — or maybe lose — significant amounts of money? 
Place your bets and when the facts, or as we now have to say, the actual facts 
are known, rake in the chips or take the hit and move on to the next rumor.

I use speculators intentionally, as a way to set these risk-takers apart from 
the Buy and Hold type of investor. Warren Buffet, the Sage of Omaha, is the 
archetype of the calm investor who plays the long game. When his AAPL stock, 
purchased in early 2016 for about $1.1B, dipped to $888M, he made it clear that 
not only was he not about to sell a single share, he went on to quadruple his 
holdings in the Cupertino company by the end of the year.

In late 2016, Apple’s shares hovered around $110. The price climbed to about 
$172 this past Friday November 3rd, precisely a day after the company published 
its numbers for the final quarter of Fiscal 2017. Warren Buffett’s investment 
is doing well and — surprise! — speculators aren’t selling their shares, either.

Before we dive into the numbers, let’s look back at a decade of Apple’s Sales 
and Net Profit during the iPhone era:


2007 to 2013 were the go-go years, revenue and profit climbed at a speed never 
seen before, especially considering the suddenly massive size of the company. 
With sales of more than $100B in 2011, Apple still managed to grow 2012 revenue 
by 45% and profit by 61%. The once “beleaguered” PC company that had struggled 
to gain market share with its “non-standard” Macintosh was crushing Nokia and 
Blackberry in the mobile device space. In the eyes of many, Apple had become 
The iPhone Company.

Then, sales growth slowed down abruptly, 9% and 7% in 2013 and 2014 
respectively. Profit dropped (-11%) in 2013 before recovering, modestly, in 
line with sales (+7%) in 2014. The misadventure was attributed to the emergence 
of the large screen Android “phablets”, particularly those from frenemy 
Samsung, a company that was both Apple’s competitor and supplier.

In late 2014 — just in time for the start of Fiscal Year 2015 — Apple 
introduced its own large screen phones, the iPhones 6 and 6 Plus. iPhone users 
who had been holding out for a larger screen bought the new models in large 
quantities, and new users joined in. After two years of disappointing growth, 
Apple’s numbers rebounded, +28% for sales and +35% for profits (technically 
called Net Income). It seemed that the gogo years were back.

Not quite…

The following year, 2016, sales were down 8% and profits did worse, -14%. In 
retrospect, the 2015 numbers didn’t belong on a continuous demand slope. The 
large screen iPhone 6 fulfilled a one-time, non-repeatable demand from iPhone 
users. Once satisfied, growth fell back to a slower pace…and the blogosphere 
responded with the Apple Is Doomed refrain, with much I Told You So sprinkled 
all over.

Then another surprise: In 2017 Apple returned to its 2013–2014 growth pattern. 
Modest good news, the giant is growing again, + 6% for a $220B company is a 
“mere” $12B in additional revenue, but misleading news nonetheless. The full 
2017 year obscures what happened in the last September quarter:


First, the company grew by 12% in a quarter where customers tend to wait and 
see what the new iPhones will look like. There was just one week of iPhone 8 
revenue in the period, not enough to sway number much.

Second, and more important, everything worked, from Macs to iPad to iPhones to 
Services (which grew by “only” 24% after a one-time down adjustment). In 
particular, the iPad now shows two consecutive quarters of more than 10% 
year-to-year growth, this after more than 3 years of declining shipments. Every 
category went up. This includes the Watch. No units/revenue numbers there, we 
just have company management statements: ‘ + 50% growth’ and ‘passing Rolex to 
become the #1 watch maker’. Horace Dediu comes to the rescue in a piece titled 
When Watch surpassed iPod. There, Horace digs into historic data and sees 
Watch revenue exceed $3B in (calendar) Q3 ’17 and approach $5B in this Xmas Q4:


These “all cylinders firing” growth indicators explain the now sunnier view of 
the company’s future.A side note, a misfire: Gartner, an historic Apple 
doubter, pegged Mac sales at 4.6M units for the quarter, -5.6% versus the prior 
year. The actual number turned out to be 5.38M units:


Moving to this Xmas quarter, we have the iPhone X’s contribution to the overall 
sentiment, to a view of Apple’s future growth. 

[MacGroup] Somebody wrote an email bot to waste scammers' time

[Ed Wiser]

The last email I posted about here last week has Apple’s 
Attention. If you get an email from a scammer pretending to
Be Apple forward it to: 
reportphish...@apple.com
Boing Boing
Somebody wrote an email bot to waste scammers' time
 
I love this. When you get a scam email, forward it to m...@rescam.org and a bot 
will keep the scammer busy emailing back and forth with it, giving the scammer 
less time to rob gullible humans.

Introducing Re:scam – an artificially intelligent email bot made to reply to 
scam emails. Re:scam wastes scammers time with a never-ending series of 
questions and anecdotes so that scammers have less time to pursue real people.

If you think you’ve received a scam email, forward it to m...@rescam.org and 
we’ll take it from there. We’ll even send you a summary of the conversations 
Re:scam has had with the scammer – sometimes they can be quite funny!

Re:scam is an initiative aimed at helping people from becoming fraud victims by 
occupying the time and resources of scammers through deploying a well-educated 
artificially intelligent chat bot. Instead of junking or deleting a scam email, 
you can now forward it to Re:scam who will continue the conversation 
indefinitely – or until the scammer stops replying.

Re:scam can take on multiple personas, imitating real human tendencies with 
humour and grammatical errors, and can engage with infinite scammers at once, 
meaning it can continue an email conversation for as long as possible. Re:scam 
will turn the table on scammers by wasting their time, and ultimately damage 
the profits for scammers.

[MacGroup] Misunderstanding Apple Services

[Ed Wiser]

Monday Note - Medium
Misunderstanding Apple Services
by Jean-Louis Gassée


Apple’s quarterly numbers show positive Mac numbers, stable iPhone revenue, and 
a return to growing iPad sales. But the story that has grabbed the headlines is 
the growth of the Services business. Has Apple Services suddenly become the 
company’s Next Big Thing?

The headlines played like a ‘stop the presses’ moment from a 1940’s thriller:

Apple’s service biz now the size of a Fortune 100 company (CNBC)
Apple’s services business alone now the size of a Fortune 100 company, beats 
out Facebook. (AppleInsider)
Apple’s services business now the size of a Fortune 100 company (iMore)
Apple’s services division is now the size of a Fortune 100 company (itbusiness)
The punchy, echoed sentiment is shorthand for a salient fact disclosed in 
Apple’s latest quarterly numbers, released on August 1st, 2017. Services 
revenue for the last four quarters reached $27.8B, figuratively placing Apple’s 
Services 98th on the Fortune 100 List:

If Apple Services were a standalone company, its $27.8M in revenue would just 
squeak past Facebook’s $27.6 (although I’m not sure we’re comparing the same 
four quarters).

(Hungry for more facts? The 10-Q SEC filing is here. As always, I direct your 
attention to the Management Discussion & Analysis section on page 25. You can 
also turn to iMore’s well-rendered transcript of the Earnings conference call, 
and Tim Cook’s August 2nd CNBC interview with Josh Lipton.)

Last May, Tim Cook said he expected the Services business to double by 2020. 
That would be about $55B, right behind United Technologies, 50th in Fortune’s 
list. From there, it’s an easy jump to the eternal quest for Apple’s next big 
revenue generator, something as powerful as the iPhone, or the meteoric rise of 
the iPad before its subsequent fall (now reversed, it seems).

The picture of Apple Services’ growth compared to Facebook, courtesy of Horace 
@asymco Dediu, is tantalizing:


Apple Services is doing well, with accelerating growth…


…while Facebook's own growth slows down.

It’s an attractive comparison, if a bit grasping. Apple Services has only 
recently begun its growth spurt; Facebook isn’t exactly finished.

But the biggest misunderstanding isn’t the theoretical placement in the Fortune 
100 list, or the comparisons to Facebook. It’s the consideration of Apple 
Services as a self-standing business. Remove “Apple” from “Apple 
Services”…would this stand-alone “Services” company enjoy the same success were 
it to service Android phones or Windows PCs?

Apple Services is an important member of the supporting cast that pushes the 
volume and margins for the main act: Apple Personal Computers. These come in 
three sizes, small (iPhone), medium (iPad), and large (Mac). If rumors of the 
addition of a cellular modem true, we may even see the Watch, today an iPhone 
accessory, added to the cast as the newest and smallest performer.

Everything else that Apple offers has one raison d’être: Fueling the company’s 
main hardware act without which Apple is nothing. As an example, headphones, 
earphones, loudspeaker sales, and music distribution revenue isn’t the goal 
(note the fall in music purchases on Horace’s chart above).

With Services, Apple enjoys the benefits of a virtuous circle: Hardware sales 
create Services revenue opportunities; Services makes hardware more attractive 
and “stickier”. Like Apple Stores, Services are part of the ecosystem. Such is 
the satisfying simplicity and robustness of Apple’s business model.

History provides another interesting angle — and shows how the Services “giant” 
was long in coming.

Apple’s modern services efforts were born when the company acquired SoundJam MP 
in 2000 and rebranded the music synchronization program as iTunes the next 
year. iTunes introduced to two key innovations: Selling music “by the slice”, 
once song at a time versus the age-old album bundle; and “micro-payments”, 69 
cents for each downloaded song. Apple funded your purchases until your balance 
reached the credit card company’s minimum charge amount — typically $2.50 to 
$5. (Rumor has it that, in the beginning, Apple may have eaten the card 
transaction fees for low purchase amounts in order to get iTunes music sales 
going.)

In October 2001, just a few months after the iTunes launch, the iPod appeared. 
Apple had created an ecosystem, a virtuous circle of downloadable music that 
fueled hardware sales, while increasing iPod numbers fueled iTunes revenue. By 
2006, iPod revenue reached $7.7B, surpassing the Mac’s $7.4. (As reported that 
same year, Music plus Software and Services already reached $3.2B — but these 
numbers are imprecise, they include some accessories.)

It’s sometime difficult to recall, but at the time, Apple was still struggling: 
Windows PCs outnumbered Macs nearly 20-to-1. Also fading from memory are the 
names of the other big players at the time:

Gartner has the top four players in the U.S. PC

You can only run an exe in windows or use a program like Fusion by VMware to
