- The iPad generated more revenue last quarter than Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Groupon, and Tesla combined.
- Apple's sales from hardware accessories is larger than Chipotle?s revenue.
- Apple's iTunes, software, and services businesses are bigger than eBay.

Was Apple Spooked By The BlackBerry Passport? - BlackBerry Ltd. (NASDAQ:BBRY) | Seeking Alpha
Was reading this article from another thread posted on CB. I don't think there is a cellphone maker out there that can get close to where iPhone is currently. With the upcoming Passport people have high hopes that this will be the disruptive device to change the future of BlackBerry. While I'm also hopeful, I would not think that it can make a dent in the Apple/iPhone position.
