From 1977 - 1988 Apple was totally dependent on the Apple //e (the Mac was losing money)

From 1992-2003 Apple was totally dependent on the Mac (the iPod was just a meaningful contributor to revenue when iTunes came to Windows.)

When Apple depended on the Mac for revenue, they consistently failed to keep up with Intel - first with the 68K and then with the Mac.

If the iPhone fails, the Mac no matter what would never keep up.
