April 24, 2013 at 09:51Apple reported last quarter results
Apple reported on the results of the past quarter. Revenue - 43.6 billion (more than last year's figure of 39.2 billion), profit - 9.5 billion dollars, which is less than the same quarter last year, when it received 11.6 billion. For almost 10 years, this is the first time that quarterly profit is less than last year. One way or another, this was to happen someday, and cash reserves of 145 billion will help to survive this “difficult” period.
In January, Apple reported a total of 40 billion applications downloaded. Now companies are already talking about the intersection of the 45 billion mark, that is, approximately 800 applications are downloaded per second. The company paid developers more than 9 billion, so the company pays the creators of applications about $ 1 billion per quarter.
For the quarter, Apple sold 37.4 million iPhones (+ 7% compared to last year, -22% compared to last quarter) and 19.5 million iPads (+ 65% and -18%, respectively). However, despite the rumors and the general expectation, it becomes clear from the words of Tim Cook that there will be no new Apple products by the end of the year.
“Our team is working hard on exciting new devices, programs and services, and we can't wait for their presentation at the end of 2013.”
“We understand that our growth has slowed,” he said. But the reasons for this, in his opinion, are the tremendous success that the company has had in recent years, but such growth rates cannot last forever. Did Apple run into a wall? Not at all, says Cook - and his main hope is in China. This was the best quarter of the company in the country, including retail stores, sales of the company amounted to 8.8 billion, 11% more than last year. IPad Sales generally increased by146 138%.
The fall in stock prices twice also worries the head of Apple, but "the company's strength in creating innovative products, and this is always under our control."
