Tech-Konzern: Starker iPhone-Absatz – Apple mit erneutem Rekordergebnis
Vor dem wichtigen Weihnachtsgeschäft konnte Apple das iPhone-Geschäft ausbauen. Beim ersten aufklappbaren Modell iPhone Duo gibt es aber weiter Engpässe.
Apple exceeded market expectations in the latest quarter with its iPhone business, with smartphone sales rising 17.5% year-over-year to $57.56 billion. Analysts had expected around $1 billion less. The iPhone is the company's most important product. Former hardware boss John Ternus took the helm from long-standing CEO Tim Cook in September, with Apple traditionally launching new iPhone models then to coincide with holiday shopping.
Analysts had warned of potential shortages with the first foldable model, the iPhone Duo, which saw delivery estimates for the device priced over $2,000 slip to January within weeks of its October launch. Overall, Apple's quarterly revenue rose 12% compared to the previous year to $114.5 billion, with profits also up 12% to $30.7 billion.
Despite growth in services and China operations, Apple still missed higher analyst expectations. The company's stock saw a temporary dip of around 1% in after-hours trading on Wall Street.
