0:00.0	Welcome to the Apple Insider Podcast. This episode is brought to you by every plate, molecule,

0:18.4	Hughes, how's it going, Neil?
0:19.9	Doing okay, how about you, Steve?
0:21.2	Doing well. William could not join us. I know many listeners, love to hear William's
0:25.5	antics on the show, but he'll be back soon, so worry not to listeners. So first off, I just
0:29.8	want to get this out of the way up front. Neil Apple is printing money over there in

1:20.8	really break that out. I mean, I guess, you know, it just might be Apple Music. One
1:24.8	might be the Apple One services bundle, but their push for services revenue is really
1:29.8	doing well. Yeah. And the interesting thing is services were up, but compared to everything
1:34.8	else, they were actually the, quote unquote, disappointment, I guess, of the quarter,
1:38.5	only like 25% or whatever it was, right? Right. The real blowouts this quarter, I mean,
1:43.4	it's kind of funny. We take the iPhone for granted, because it's always a blowout. And
