Apple, on the other hand, could see a precipitous decline if margins dropped just 5% and/or a single product - the iPhone - started to lose sales. Apple earned more profits in the last 13 weeks of 2013 than Google earned in all of 2013. If Apple's profits were to fall, they would have to fall hard and steep just to get to 2x Google's profits. That said, forecasting a precipitous drop in Apple profits ignores data on a highly satisfied and extremely loyal base of Apple customers.
