This graph shows Apple's iPod revenue as a percentage of the company’s total global revenue in each respective quarter from 2009 to 2014. As the success of Apple's other products, such as the iPhone and iPad became more profound, the share of the company's total revenue generated from sales of the iPod steadily decreased. As of the first quarter of 2014, iPod revenue only accounted for 1.69 percent of Apple's total revenue. This is connected to decreasing iPod unit sales.
