The Cupertino company shared the new figures along with a host of others that shed light on the growth of its increasingly important services business. “Apple’s world-class portfolio of services proved essential in 2021, as people worldwide sought new ways to keep entertained, informed, connected, and inspired,” Eddy Cue, Apple’s SVP of Services, said in a press release. “With over 745 million paid subscriptions, Apple continues to connect the world’s developers, artists, and storytellers with users across more than a billion devices.” Apple has had a significant services business for several years. In October, the company reported that its services revenue was up 27% for Q4, reaching $18.28 billion.
