We are very happy with the continued strong growth in revenue from Services, thanks to the incredible strength of the Apple ecosystem and our growing base of over one billion active devices.”

Um, Tim, Wall Street isn't buying your services narrative. Especially since you weren't spinning this narrative when hardware sales weren't missing estimates. Cook needs to find a better narrative fast.

Disappointing?

Not to me.

Not to anyone who has half a brain.

Of course Apple could not match what they did last year. The iPhone 6 cycle was a once in a decade super cycle.  People were holding off buying iPhones for YEARS waiting for a bigger phone.

You need to compare this years results with the iPhone 5s results in 2014.

In Q2 2014 Apple had $45 billion in revenue.
In Q2 2016 Apple had $51 billion in revenue.

That is 13% revenue growth

I'm pretty sure I have more than half a brain. Mac and iPad sales both also fell year over year, and by considerable amounts. It's a disappointing quarter.
