Looking at the numbers that Apple is presenting lately, we can think of "everything that goes up, goes down." But it is also true that cycles are usually a wheel with times when they go up and times when they go down. So think financial analysts, whose forecasts they assure that Apple will achieve profits of between $ 76.000.000.000 and $ 78.000.000.000 in the first fiscal quarter of 2017, that is, in the months of October, November and December 2016.

In the worst case, all according to these forecasts, Apple would achieve a profit of $ 76.000 billion, which would exceed the $ 75.900 billion achieved in the same period of 2015. If the forecasts are met, Apple would end a time of downturns that has lasted 9 months and that has led to the first year your earnings stopped rising since 2001, the year that coincides with the launch of the device that changed the way digital music was listened to, the iPod.

According to forecasts, Apple will return to positive balances in the Christmas quarter

The negative balances Apple started with the iPhone 6s launch. Personally, it was a device that I liked a lot, with its 12 and 5Mpx cameras, its 2GB of RAM and the 3D Touch screen, but it did not manage to exceed the sales of some models presented a year before that had grown to 4.7 and 5.5 inches. Being the iPhone the most important device for the apple company, this decrease in sales was reflected in the quarterly balance sheets.

The only positive thing about all these balances is that have exceeded forecasts time after time, including the balance that those of Cupertino presented yesterday. The main reason has been other products that analysts may not have taken into account, such as sales from the App Store, Apple Music or iCloud. The point is, if they have exceeded forecasts at the moment, what will happen next year with the launch of the XNUMXth anniversary iPhone?
