You're editorializing the headline, aside from your vague phrasing for "margin" (actually gross margin) and "Services [segment]" which has had gross margins >66% since FY20.

Better to reflect the actual headline and then add a comment.

edit:

This is the SaaS division. Similar at GOOG, MSFT, CRM, etc. have similar gross margins.

The article and the submitted HN post both appear to have the same title to me: "Margin Call".

What are you talking about? Did one or the other have a different title when you wrote your comment?

Yes, an admin changed the headline.

Original headline was misleading and editorialized.

Got it. Out of curiosity, what was it?

From memory, "Apple has 76% margin in Services"

Ah, very fair. Without otherwise taking a position on the article, I can totally see how that's editorialized.

Would prefer if dang/admins added subtitle or bracketed the altered title

Usually, admins make a simple comment upon edit. But not really required given it's an explicit policy in HN guidelines.
