so, with operational margin 28.42%, aws outruns apple with operational margin 22.72%.

if you've told me aws takes more premium on their products than apple per $, i wouldn't believed.

You should compare AWS's pricing vs dedicated providers, it's near a 3x difference compared to OVH last time I looked.
