苹果（Apple）仍然还是一家成长型公司吗？《华尔街日报》（Wall Street Journal）抛出的这个问题话音未落，科技博客Asymco的贺拉斯•德迪欧已经找到了新的方式，来突显苹果公司内部常常被忽视的一个增长来源。

    在本文所附的图表中，德迪欧编排了谷歌（Google）核心业务【即不包括摩托罗拉（Motorola）和“其他”】的收入类别，然后把它与苹果iTunes/软件/服务部门的收入构成进行了比较。

    如果把苹果付给应用程序开发商的70％分成（这部分所得不计入苹果公司的收入）计算在内，德迪欧认为，iTunes集团的“毛”收入达到了235亿美元，年同比增长34％。

    德迪欧写道：“按年计算，苹果iTunes/软件/服务的规模几乎是谷歌核心业务的一半，且增速略高于后者。

    “iTunes内容和服务‘帝国’如果自立门户，将在《财富》美国500强公司中名列第130位【名次略低于美铝公司（Alcoa），而高于医药公司礼来（Eli Lilly）】。”（财富中文网）

    Is Apple still a growth company? With the Wall Street Journal's question still hanging in the air, Asymco's Horace Dediu has found a novel way to highlight a source of growth within Apple (AAPL) that is often overlooked.

    In the attached chart, he's stacked the revenue categories of Google's (GOOG) core business (i.e. without Motorola and "other") and compared them with the revenue components of Apple's iTunes/Software/Services division.

    Taking into account the 70% Apple pays app developers (which the company doesn't report as revenue), Dediu figures the iTunes group had "gross" revenues of $23.5 billion with growth of 34% year over year.

    "On a yearly basis," he writes, "iTunes/Software/Services is nearly half of Google's core business and growing slightly faster.

    "The iTunes 'empire' of content and services would be ranked as number 130 in the Fortune 500 ranking of companies (slightly below Alcoa and above Eli Lilly)."
