    You also have to account for the 3% to 3.5% inflation from Jan, Feb, Mar 2023 to Jan, Feb, Mar 2024 earnings, respectively.
    Inflation of what?  As far as I know Apple hasn’t raised the prices for any of their core products.
    By accounting the inflation, their revenues would be more down.

    Very strange moment where Tesla and Apple "blow away" with their "weak" performance.

    It may be a "better than expected" result, but it is not a healthy reaction of the stock market. 

    Apple announces $110 billion buyback which currently drives the stock up.

    Am I the only one that it is a risky move from Apple?

    I think Tim Cook will depart Apple by this time next year.  I really have not been a fan of the recorded product launches.  A live presentation is so much more interesting. That is not the reason i think he will be gone, but just something i wish they would change.
    Agree. But I fear if their live presentation would not be full and crowded like before as Apple has not been able to show "breakthrough" features for several years. 
    I think nobody has a high expectation anymore. Nothing excited.

  • iPhone 15 Pro is unexpectedly the sales champion of spring 2024

    Not unexpected at all. The 15 Pro isn't doing better than 14 Pro (1% worse). But the collapse is in the base 15 and Plus. From 29% to 23%. In total 7% of sales have moved down to previous gen hardware. And 14 base was really just a 13 so those numbers were probably bad as well.

    45% of customers going Pro is nice... but Apple is bleeding customers from the bottom of the stack. The drop in sales is what should worry Apple. If you don't buy an iPhone then AirPods and apps are also not being bought. 
    Very tiny updates from year to year: Why should most people upgrade their phone? 
    And people cut their spendings amid coming recession and inflation pressures. 

    Wasn't it a naive thinking from the executives that people are stupid to get excited for iPhone 15 with updates which do not generate added values? 

    I hope they get hammered and get "back to the roots".
