In this thread: lots of people making unfounded assumuptions and drawing dumb conclusions when anyone who has been paying attention knew this was coming as Apple even said so last quarter.
The last year quarter was buoyed by previous quarter supply constraints causing a lot more sales in many categories and products.
It's not that this quarter was bad (it was fine) it's that last years quarter was SO GOOD and last quarter had no major supply constraints that we see this.
Basically - Apple has got so good at the supply chain it's hurting their numbers for quarters with no new releases.
But sure, start speculating about [insert your favorite phone] and writing screeds about phone subsidies/performance/innovation/whatever. It won't be right... but you'll feel better I guess.
- wdewind 11y agoAs someone who basically looked at this as confirming what I believed about the iPhone 6/+ (ie: that it is too big and no one likes it and Apple's sales are going to fall), thanks for this post. Changed my view.
- abritinthebay 11y agoYou're very welcome! I think sales are going to slow down but that is a case of less growth to be had in western markets. Still plenty of growth opportunities in other markets but they'll be slower
