Strong iPhone sales aren’t enough to offset a big downturn in Mac shipments #GeekLeap

Apple had its second “unhealthy” quarter in a row.

Particularly, the iPhone and Providers classes, each of which have been Apple’s greatest money-makers for years now, noticed income positive aspects year-over-year. However this wasn’t sufficient to offset declines in every single place else: the Mac, iPad, and Wearables / Dwelling / Equipment divisions all shrank in comparison with this time a 12 months in the past.

The sturdy iPhone gross sales (up two % to $51.3 billion) marked a file the March-ending quarter, even though the iPhone 14 and 14 Professional arrived final September. And Apple’s providers enterprise, which has been rising steadily over the previous 5 years to surpass all different merchandise the corporate presents (in addition to the iPhone, after all) hit one other file with $20.9 billion in income (up 5 % year-over-year). 

Mac gross sales plummeted from $10.4 billion a 12 months in the past to solely $7.2 billion this quarter previous, down 31 % total. That is lower than IDC predicted a month in the past when it mentioned Mac gross sales dropped by 40 %, however the normal forecast of massively diminished curiosity nonetheless rings true. iPad gross sales weren’t hit as laborious however nonetheless dropped 13 % to $6.7 billion for the quarter regardless of main updates to the product lineup final fall. Lastly, the wearables / house class, which encompasses merchandise like AirPods, the Apple Watch and the HomePod lineup, dipped lower than one %, so there are not any important crimson flags round that.
