You gave me a massage for $100, I polished your nails for $100. GDP increased by $200. Who became wealthier?

Apple sure makes its shareholders wealthier. I guess you can say that about its 90,000 USA employees, and that's about it- there's pretty much no supplier network to talk about.

In your example, you got a massage and I got my nails polished. We both did.

Apple pays app developers over $30B a year. It’s created hundreds of thousands of high paying jobs at third party developers.
