Apple often appears on various lists published by Fortune, such as the famous Fortune 500 (USA). Last year, Apple rose from fifth place to third place on this list. The Fortune 500 (USA) may not be a particularly perfect ranking, but every year, we still can use this ranking to understand some of the company's situation, but also a good comparison of those companies. The Fortune 500 (USA) is one of the annual lists edited and published by Fortune magazine. It has been the most famous and authoritative list of large companies in the United States. This list includes listed companies, private companies, and these revenues are public. The concept of the Fortune 500 was created by Edgar P. Smith, editor of Fortune magazine, and the first list was already met in 1955. For reference, last year Apple ranked third, while old rival Microsoft ranked 25th, Google ranked 36th, and Amazon ranked 18th. Many analysts claim that Apple's products are very dangerous, but this list alone is still far-fetched. Let's start by looking at the Mac. The Mac computer was once synonymous with Apple. Of course, it has changed. In 2016, if the Mac computer's revenue just exceeded 20 billion US dollars, such an achievement is enough to rank it 130th. However, if we talk about the iPhone alone, the wealth created by the iPhone for Apple has allowed it to rank among the top 10, so in a sense, the iPhone has become synonymous with Apple. The iPad’s sales have continued to decline, and many people have taken this opportunity to criticize Apple. However, the iPad’s annual revenue is only slightly lower than that of the Mac. It can also be ranked at around 130. In fact, the iPad’s distance is “dangerousâ€. There is a distance, and Apple also has room for iPad to usher in the "second spring" again. How is the performance of Apple Watch? Apple has not announced the sales of Apple Watch, but according to the forecast of major analysts, its annual sales volume will be around 12 million. Based on this sales volume, its annual revenue is calculated. Apple Watch can now be used for Apple. With $5 billion in revenue, Apple Watch has become a leader in the smartwatch industry. Who dares to look at the future of Apple Watch? Finally, Apple’s service business has also been favored by many people. As long as Apple’s service business maintains its current growth rate, soon Apple’s service business will be able to become a Fortune 500 and even rankings will reach around 130 with the Mac and iPad is comparable. So, from Apple’s current five product categories, we compare them separately. They are already on the Fortune 500 (US) list, and the iPhone can even rank among the top 10, so it is said that In fact, Apple and the word "broken" are far from each other. Isn't it?
