You're editorializing the headline, aside from your vague phrasing for "margin" (actually gross margin) and "Services [segment]" which has had gross margins >66% since FY20.

Better to reflect the actual headline and then add a comment.

edit:

This is the SaaS division. Similar at GOOG, MSFT, CRM, etc. have similar gross margins.

The article and the submitted HN post both appear to have the same title to me: "Margin Call".

What are you talking about? Did one or the other have a different title when you wrote your comment?

Yes, an admin changed the headline.

Original headline was misleading and editorialized.

Got it. Out of curiosity, what was it?

		From memory, "Apple has 76% margin in Services"

Meh.

On one level, it's fair.

If everyone has similar services margins, then it's, at one level, disingenuous to single out Apple.

At the same time, I have to say that, to my mind, the comment is whatabout-ism. Right now we're talking about Apple.

Maybe we can broaden the discussion? I'm fine with that. But we'd still be talking about Apple as part of that discussion.
