Apple has just released the results of the second fiscal quarter of 2017, which includes the months of January to March of this year, and Although it has achieved good figures that recover the growth path in some sections, there are others in which they have not, and it is also below forecasts of Wall Street, which is making it go down in its stock market value. 50,8 million iPhones sold, $ 52.900 billion in revenue and $ 11.000 billion in net profit have not been enough to quench the thirst of analysts who continue to distrust.
IPhone sales have fared worse than the same quarter last year: 50,8 million units sold this quarter, compared to the 51,1 million units sold in the same period of the previous year, and what is worse, below the 52 million units that analysts expected.
Worse yet, iPad sales, which continue their unstoppable decline. If the second quarter of last year was already bad, with only 10,3 million units sold (which was already falling compared to 12,6 million the previous year), the second quarter of this year has only managed to accumulate 8,9 million Of units. It is the quarter that fewer iPad sales have accumulated since the launch of the Apple tablet, and the worst thing is that the end of the fall does not seem to be in sight.
Better news for Mac sales, which after a year 2016 in which sales fell slightly, it seems that Apple faces a 2017 with better forecasts and growth, although light, which has led it to sell 4,2 million computers, compared to 4 million in the same period in 2016.
One of the most favorable data of the company has been service sector revenues, which have risen to $ 7,04 million, with significant growth over the previous year. In addition, it should be noted that sales in the "Other products" category, which include AirPods and Apple Watch, also grew by 31%, which indicates a good performance of these products.
