EU App Store revenue is 7% of total App Store revenue.


How's that relevant? It's their second largest market for iPhone sales, representing around 25% of total units sold. If, as the parent comment suggested, the EU intervened and somehow banned Apple's services in the EU until they started complying with the law, new iPhones sales would effectively drop to 0.


If all App Store sells stopped in the EU, it would be 7% of their App Store revenue which is only part of their services revenue which is only 1/5 of their overall revenue.

EU is Apple’s third largest market. The largest market ping pongs between China and the Americans

China iPhone sales are down 24% yoy. With continuing friction this will not be a market they can count on in the future.

iPhone sales are always down until there is a new form factor. This has been true since at least the 6S


Why do you keep talking about their app store revenue? IF the EU applied pressure on Apple by blocking their services, both app store and iPhone sales would disappear overnight. Nobody is going to buy an iPhone that doesn't work.
