Apple's fastest growing revenue stream is services. It's already a 20 billion a year profit machine.

Can you give more information on this? I had no idea they had such a potent revenue stream in the services sector.

When Apple reported Q3 earnings this year, Tim Cook said that the services revenue would be "the size of a Fortune 100 company by next year."[0] Revenue was ~6 billion in Q3, up 19% from a year prior. That comes out to roughly 20 billion a year.

When I saw everyone playing Pokemon Go and buying coins and what have you, I thought of Apple taking a 30% cut of every transaction...

The service revenue really is the strongest case for being a bull. Of course this is just my own personal opinion. I own the stock and I'm long on the prospects. I also love the products. Also so much cash!

Apple has its own OS, compilers, IDE, 2+ languages, various frameworks etc. This is more than what Google, more importantly used a lot by people. But yeah it just a hardware company.

Not really. Google has Android OS, Chrome OS, Brillo OS, Andromeda OS, Fuchsia OS, Android Studio, Go, Dart, Angular JS, etc...

Android, ChromeOS, Go, Dart

Yea but Samsung has Bada, Knox, Tizen (partially), JerryScript, Kies, etc
