Apple's hardware (desktop and laptop) sales amounted to 42% of its revenue according to the most recent annual report, but that report included hardly any iPhone revenue (for comparison, iPod sales were only $2B less than hardware sales). Jobs has to know that Apple is going to be out of the hardware business one day; he knows that OS X is the important part. Why else would Apple be deriving more revenue each year from software, services, iPod, and iPhone? He'll license the OS, but it may take a few more years until Mac hardware accounts for only 20% of revenue.
