KEY POINTS Apple has generated a monster return of 560% over the past decade. Like Apple, Block and Axon blend hardware with software and services. These businesses take a page out of Apple's playbook.Apple has the kind of brand authority most companies will never achieve, and it has used that competitive advantage to build a verysticky business. Specifically, by pairing first-party hardware with software and services, Apple benefits from recurring revenue and high switching costs. That has made it a cash-flow machine, and shareholders have seen a 560% return over the past decade as a result. $Apple(AAPL)$ Block and Axon Enterprise aren't quite the same as Apple, but both have earned brand recognition in their industries whil
