Yesterday was results day, and although Apple surprises us in their Keynote's with new devices, in the end what interests their investors are the financial results they achieve with these launches. Some results, those of the Q4 of 2016, which have not been entirely good ... And you can read them in all the media, Apple seems not to have grown as much as in other years at this same time.
But not everything was going to be bad, it is worth not having sold so many devices, in the end this is the result of not having made major renovations and that users are slowing down the rate of device renewal, but Apple is much more ... That has grown: Apple services (App Store, iTunes, Apple Care, Apple Music, and Apple Pay) have grown 24% during these last results.
Apple Music what has grown the most
We are talking about digital services, services among which are some of those that we use in our day to day life and for which we are beginning to get used to paying. These services would have grown $ 6.3 billion (Americans) compared to $ 5 billion in the same fiscal period last year. Apple Music seems to be the culprit of this, and it is that the streaming music service of the Cupertino boys would have grown 22% compared to Q4 2015, 5 fiscal periods of growth.
Apple Pay prepares its imminent arrival in Spain
Apple Pay, Apple's financial transaction service, is also continuously growing: a 500% taking into account the transactions of fiscal year 2015. And this is partly thanks to the expansion they are taking of the Apple Pay platform to more countries. And if, Apple Pay will arrive in Spain very soon, before the end of this year 2016 we should be able to use Apple Pay in Spain, and we assure you that it will be true ...
What are you based on to affirm that Apple Pay will arrive before the end of the year? At yesterday's press conference it was said "in a few months" ... in a few months ... not before the end of the year.
