Apple has built a self-sustaining ecosystem

Despite its strengths, $Apple(AAPL.US)$ isn't immune to macroeconomic factors. Investors should expect some pain in the short term. Apple's fiscal third quarter could show a revenue hit due to the strong U.S. dollar since more than half its net sales come from outside the Americas.
But investors with an eye on the long term can wait for these macroeconomic storms to pass and, while waiting, can collect dividends from Apple stock.
So while inflation, supply chain woes, and other macroeconomic factors may create a daunting picture in the near term, investors holding shares for the long run will be glad they picked up Apple stock.
