But does anyone dispute that Exxon's cash flows are much more reliable than Apple's?

Much more? I would say more. Oil is a commodity that fluctuates wildly in price and that does effect Exxons cash flow. Just as overall consumer spending effects Apples cash flow. You could argue that in the brave new world of peak oil cheap oil will never happen again but I won't go there.

At least Apple controls it's products selling price. But if you're talking really long term I suppose you have a pretty good argument. Shorter term I think you have better visibility to Apples cash flow.
