Apple has certainly poured a lot of its focus on its services businesses over the recent years. Most recently, the company launched Apple Fitness+ and Apple TV+, a fitness and video subscription service. Both services seem to be a hit for subscribers, especially Apple TV+, which very quickly picked up its first Academy Award for Best Picture with the heartwarming film "CODA."
Unfortunately, Apple did not provide a breakdown of which services its customers were specifically subscribed to. The company has always lumped everything together into one "services" umbrella. So, we still don't know how many people are subscribed to Apple Music compared to Apple News+.
For the second quarter of 2022, Apple reported a revenue record of $97.3 billion, an increase of nine percent when compared to last year.
