It's not the app revenue, it's the locked content stream. Open web apps would be able to sell content directly, as they never signed the app store contract. Long term Apple's growth model requires content sales. Hardware sales only grew 7% over last year if I remember their filing correctly.

Actually I think you're about a factor 10 off there, hardware sales FY11 was $99bn, compared to $57bn in FY10, which is a growth year over year of about 72%, while content saw growth of about 28% from $4.9bn to $6.3bn. As for total impact on revenue, hardware sales made up 91% of total revenue in '11, compared to 88% in '10.
