How much profit does Apple make?
Apple's profit margin, the percentage of sales kept after production costs, is expected to fall to 45-46%. While still very high, this is a significant drop from its peak of over 90% in 2009, when digital downloads had almost no production cost. The current decline is mainly due to rising memory costs.
