Impressive quarter. The only downside is that iPhone sales make up an even larger percentage of Apple's revenue. This poses significant downside risks, should sales flatten or not meet/exceed expectations in the future. So while this is good news for Apple shareholders, they need to double their efforts to increase Mac, iPad, and Watch sales while developing products in new categories.

Does Google need to develop new product categories, for the day people no longer want ads? What about auto makers and cars?
Mac sales on the typically HIGHER END @ 5.4 million units.
Take note, folks.
Not only that, Cook says that the Mac revenues set a new record.
But they didn't bust the record by enough so obviously the new MBP was an epic failure. Or at least thats what some folks will claim after saying for weeks that the mac revenues will be soft and just wait for the quarterly report. *cough*Avon*cough*.
Amazingly services revenue is now about the size of Facebook's revenue...
OK, so who wants to go back and pull comments from posters that guaranteed us that their quarterly earnings were going to suck because Cook sold a little stock after the new year and before taxes were due?
These users need to be called out and publicly humiliated. All those posts in here about how disappointing the iPhone 7 is. All those posts screaming bloody murder about the removal of the headphone jack and how that would kill the iPhone for good. All those posts demanding Cook be fired. And I’ll bet not single one will come in here and say, “I was wrong.”

Not only that, Cook says that the Mac revenues set a new record. And clearly they would have sold even more if they had been able to keep up with demand for the new MBP, which still had an order backlog of a few weeks at the end of the quarter.
Oh and those new MBPs are such failed products aren’t they.

They're over on MacRumors right now, posting about how these numbers just show that Apple is only out to please shareholders, not customers, and that Apple is doomed because ... ah whatever. I'm just wondering how many of them are paid trolls and how many are just unhappy people who would complain if they were given a free bar of gold because it's too heavy and didn't include a convenient carrying case.

1) Apple misses the street: Apple could have done better if they listened to customers. 2) Apple beats the street: Apple only listens to shareholders.
I'm sure they made comments against Cook and how things would be different under Jobs despite these being the same people that said Apple was doomed under Jobs.
Amazing what the Mac can do with few updates and little to no advertising. I think it speaks to the strength of macOS and the high build quality of Apple's aging hardware.
Now just imagine how well the Mac could do if Apple lifted a finger!
Can't admit you were wrong, eh :-)
With figures like that, Apple has proven that concentrating on its evolving customer base was the right thing do. As everyone with an ounce of common sense will tell you, they will continue with the Mac line that will support the same evolving customer base. Don't expect the next Mac to have ten drives bays (or even one) or ten slots for your SCSI cards.

Yep... those same folks (and I know quite a few of them here on AI) are being mysteriously quiet right now... they must be stuffing their pie-holes with a second helping of humble pie at the corner diner.

Yes, good point. Google earns >85% with its revenue ad business. No analyst ever realized any problem.

They're waiting for new orders. They'll be back soon. They have to. ;-)
"I know it's going to crash. Why isn't it crashing already?"
"I'm down $12,000 already, that's [expletive] nuts, man!"
"Stop moving up, no!"
And to ease the tension, he soothed himself with Katy Perry's "Fireworks" and fielded viewer questions.
"I'm retiring after this."
"What would I do with the money? There is a suit that I want to buy. A furry suit."
And he acknowledged the capacity of investors aware of his short to intentionally skew figures.
"With 14,000 people watching, you guys could really mess with me."
And then, Apple released its report.
"Oh, no."
And as reality sunk in, Comeau howled. And kept howling. And crying. And throwing his pre-popped, celebratory champagne bottle.
"How much did I lose? $150,000."
"But it's not over."
"I'm so [expletive] so dead."
"One time in my life, I have to get lucky. And I didn't get it. That's all I'm asking for. Of course I can get it."
"Got [expletive] in the [expletive] by Martin Shrkeli and all his friends!"
"Maybe it's going to crash? Maybe?"
"Oh my [expletive] God. I'm going to lose everything I got."
There was a timeless stretch of blank camera stares, and then the sound of dry heaving. With mask still on, he pulled out a trashcan, and vomited more than his life savings.
