Kind of telling that

1, the iPhone outsells every other category by 5-7x ratio, and the Mac (which includes everything from Macbooks to Mac Minis to iMacs) barely sells more than the iPad.

2, Services (iCloud, apps, music, TV shows etc.) now bigger than every other category, except the iPhone, combined

Basically 76% of the sales are iPhones and Services

(millions)

iPhone $209,586

Mac $33,708

iPad $28,023

Wearables, Home and Accessories $35,686

Services $109,158

Total $416,161

Next 5 years or so (or even less) both the iPad and the Wearables, Home and Accessories category will overtake the sales of Macs.

I really don't get how people do research work (like finding good flight tickets, or comparing hotels to stay in for a trip) without a computer. I really cannot stand seeing websites in a small screen without the ability to quickly open 4 browser windows with 4 tabs each for different combinations of dates, for example.

I feel exactly the same way. There are personal finance management softwares that are mobile exclusive.

Like, have you tried doing data entry on a phone? Who is using these products?

The vast majority of people.

The camera on the back of the phone actually helps quite a bit with said data entry.

I normally ingest csv files exported from my bank - then have to manually tag and relate them (like internal transfers).

I have a bunch of scripts to help and wrote a custom web scraper to pull the data, automating much of this, but much is still quite manual.

I'm with you, but I guess users don't care (and I really don't get it).

None of the mobile finance apps I've used even have half the reporting ability I want (presumably because users don't care, and not because it wouldn't fit on the screen).

finance apps will soon automate that kind of things, and most probably the phone app will have it before the web version

there's resource rot it seems, desktop/web have less than the phone, and it shows

hp printer/scanner app is way leaner than anything they've ever released on windows (not saying much but still), same for my bank app it's a bit faster, and better designed (features and ui)
