Impressive, as always. They are making the right shifts in their business model by focusing on wearables and services. iPhone will always be a driver, but diversifying is never a bad idea.
So basically all of Apple’s services are products.

Ah so that why their stock was down nearly 8% today.
Continuing to defy the odds.
Honestly I'm glad it's not all hinging on the iPhone. It's a great move to diversify their revenue.

all that money & they still can't fix a god damn butterfly keyboard after 3 tries..
I'm supposed to be impressed the biggest company in the world made a big load of money, well DUH! You know who else used to be the biggest company in the world & make a ton of money, General Motors. They also started to make $hitty cars & looked what happened to them. If you took your head out of Tim's butt you'll see Apple is making some really flawed products lately. You point to billions of dollars & clap, I point to it ask how can company make this kind of money & still make crap.
Clearly they are terrible at it.
Sure not their business. Pixels must belong to oracle or amazon.

Based on what was expected, yes Apple did well and Google didn't. This is why Apple stock is up and Google is down.
Besides, it's silly to compare a hardware/tech company to an advertising company. Completely different markets.
And this is why you don’t take business advice from random strangers on Internet forums.
On a side note, i always get a little thrill when I see good iPad sales. IMO, wearables and iPad are the future.
You’re two years too late to realize that doesn’t matter to investors or traders anymore. The shock factor already happened and AAPL tanked back then. We’re passed that. Now we care more about them not being so dependent upon the iPhone, and they have been increasingly showing that they can grow in other areas.

Your opinion doesn’t matter. It’s not crap, clearly.
Not only does it sell incredibly well, it has industry leading reliability and usable lives. Look at the secondary market.
Hate on.
I guess I'm a half empty kind of guy. I expected these results and I'm worried. Apple is fundamentally a hardware business, where customers are locked in by the network effects of its services. If their hardware ecosystem is shrinking, immensely, that means Apple's going to be milking an increasingly smaller population of customers through services.
And... with fewer customers being bilked more, those customers have increasing incentives across services to switch and take that apple margin back.
[doublepost=1556668930][/doublepost]Edit... Ya, I can't help noticing that Huawei murdered Apple's cash cow. I believe in the opportunities of the services businesses, but the facts show that the iPhone is not at all competitive with what Huawei is bringing and the financial hit to Apple is enormous. Has Tim Cook brought on Apple's "Gerstner" era? Gasp!

AAPL stock has been failed by Tim Cook. Larger dividends just reinforces the lack of innovation.
You are just glad that you bought in at a bad time when Baymowe told you too. Glad you’re up though but don’t get too comfy
And for the record I believe you were bragging when you got in at 190, sad when it dropped to 140, then needed consolation from Baymowe that it was going to go up.

Yeah, Cook has only created $700B in shareholder value since taking over.
I take it you don’t own the stock? Lol...hilarious take.
I own plenty of AAPL but that’s irrelevant. Cook increasing the dividend means he’s run out of ideas. He should resign immediately.
Again, hilarious take. How many shares you own?
You should sell if you want Tim out because the next guy won’t be as good.
I leave the numbers to my accountant. What exactly has Cook done in the last eight years?
Created $700B in shareholder value?
Created the wearables space. Heard of Watch and AirPods? Industry leading silicon?
You don’t own shares or have an accountant.
You don’t really understand financials just as you don’t understand my finances.
So the market is wrong to send it up 5%. Tell me more about your insider knowledge, particularly how you leave everything to your accountant...lol.
How many shares?
