Q3 2017 results: Apple continues to grow and the iPad surprises

Apple has just published financial data for the third fiscal quarter (April to June) of this year 2017, a generally quite quiet period in which there are no major launches and in which the normal thing is to wait for summer to reach its peak. end and the flagship product is announced. However, the good news for the company has been that growth has returned and also in all sectors.

41 million iPhones sold, 11,4 million iPads and 4.3 million Macs with total revenues of $ 45.400 billion, 7% more than in the same period of the previous year. It is the third consecutive quarter with growth and there are also very interesting data such as the fact that in the Services category they have managed to break the record in any quarter of any year.

IPhone sales beat those of the same period of the previous year again with 41 million units sold. The iPhone 7, despite maintaining practically the same design for the third consecutive year, remains strong when we are already talking about its successor, and it still accounts for 55% of the company's total income, an exaggeratedly high figure but which has decreased compared to previous quarters.

But the big surprise that almost nobody expected has come from the hand of the iPad. The launch of the iPad 2017, a model with a very adjusted value for money, has served to make sales of the Apple tablet go back in a quarter that usually does not usually give these joys. IPad sales have reached 11,4 million units, representing a growth of 15% compared to the same period of the previous year. We can not forget either the Macs that have increased minimally with 4,3 million units, which in the current scenario is a good figure.

Within Services, Apple has managed to rise to 7,2 million dollars in revenue, a 22% growth over the previous year, and a figure that beats the record for any price quarter. This segment includes income from iCloud, Apple Pay, iTunes sales, AppleCare, etc.. And if you look at the geographic distribution of income, Apple grows was the whole world except China, where it falls 10%. The company's Asian market is currently at its best after spectacular growth and has been in free fall for six consecutive quarters.
