I'm "cherrypicking data" about stuff launched under Cook's tenure that's wildly successful that you said couldn't possibly have happened. Good god, the paid Apple-bashing activity on some of these posts is absurd!

My favorite bit of this is how it seems like nobody wants to grant credit for incredible growth in existing product lines, as if that feat is trivial.

Everything is going to be less than phone revenue. When Apple entered the phone market there were already 1 billion phones being sold per year, now it's close to 5 billion.
So did you miss the part about how "wearables" -- chiefly the Watch and AirPods, which came out under Cook's watch -- is up 37% and now brings in more revenue than the Mac or the iPad, and nearly as much this quarter as Services did? And, for that matter, how services revenue is now a higher percentage of the non-iPhone revenue than any other segment, which is surely being driven in no small part by Apple Music (which is now the #1 streaming music service in the US), which also first appeared on Cook's watch?
