  Another interesting point hidden in subscription accounting is the fact that the Iphone has passed the Mac segment in revenue to move into #1 for Apple despite the record Mac quarter with revenue of 3.952B. If we take the Iphone GAAP number 2.297B and add the Non-GAAP adjustment 2.383B the Iphone/ATV revenue was 4.68B.
