the Series 5. That said, with the Series 5 models

AND LUCRATIVE WINTER
Regardless of the excitement and anticipation
surrounding Black Friday, there’s been a lot

lately. In fact, the Cupertino firm recently
reported the highest revenue that it has ever
managed during a fiscal fourth quarter, a
princely $64 billion, with declining iPhone sales
being compensated for by the success of the
company’s increasing emphasis on services.
The iPhone is still Apple’s biggest money-maker,
though, and sales of the company’s other
