Speaking on Apple's earnings call, Apple CEO Tim Cook said iPad supply was "significantly" constrained during the quarter. Cook forecasted that the supply constraints for the iPad and other products will begin to improve during the March quarter.

"This quarter's record results were made possible by our most innovative lineup of products and services ever," said Cook. "We are gratified to see the response from customers around the world at a time when staying connected has never been more important. We are doing all we can to help build a better world — making progress toward our goal of becoming carbon neutral across our supply chain and products by 2030, and pushing forward with our work in education and racial equity and justice."

No wonder the iPad is down, there was no stock lol

 

[Think|Different]

Absolutely incredible. *Checks AAPL shares*

 

[Yojimbo007]

Mind Boggling numbers… 124billion in 3 months????

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Holy Moly! The quarterly revenue for iPhone alone is just insane $71.6 Billion Dollars.

This is Steve Jobs baby I'm sure he is very proud at Apple. iPhone Forever.

 

[Jaro65]

Amazing results. I helped with the new MBP and iPhone. :-D

In 1997, Michael Dell said he'd shut down Apple and give the money back to the shareholders. Apple's Mac revenue, for just this one quarter, now exceeds Dell's entire revenue in 1997.

 

[IamTimCook]

Was sure there were articles saying suppliers are having to cut iPhone orders because of low demand. ??

 

[The Game 161]

The smartest thing. Certainly was to invest in services really is making them so much

 

[UnbreakableAlex]

Apple could pay every employee 140$ an hour and still be a billion dollar company.

Crazy that Apple pulls in that much money in just 1 quarter!

 

[dumastudetto]

Mind blowing the numbers this leadership continues to deliver investors. Customers seem off-the-charts satisfied with the value they get from Apple too. A win-win situation for everyone.

 

[Unregistered 4U]

Apple could pay every employee 140$ an hour and still be a billion dollar company.

If they could even get Apple shareholders to approve that kind of change, which I’m doubting the majority would.

Most of the people who are here to enjoy Apple's latest record-breaking quarter won't want to hear this, but this services figure is ground zero for Apple's unfair competitive advantage. Apple can advertise Music by putting a notification bubble on the Settings app, while Deezer has to pay Apple for ads in the App Store. Services is as close to pure profit as Apple gets, and those advantages make customer acquisition relatively cheap.

Why is the huge emoji on the iPad so sad? This is good news. MacRumors needs to fire its graphic designer.

 

[szw-mapple fan]

Apple could pay every employee 140$ an hour and still be a billion dollar company.

And still have more than $20 billion left! This is crazy numbers.

$34.6 billion profit - 154000 employees x $140 x 8 hours x (90/7x5 work days) is roughly $23 billion. They can pay about $435/h on top of current salaries before going negative.

 

[BWhaler]

Congrats to everyone at Apple. This is well deserved.

 

[ellsworth]

The correction we've been experiencing here in the US is pretty much a discount for Apple Stock. I hope you all stocked up because tomorrow will be a launch to the moon.

 

[Mr. Dee]

The reason why the iPad suffered was because users were looking for an updated Air with the latest A series in fall 2021. But we see the strategy, Apple was saving that update for the spring. So, expect to see iPad sales up for the second quarter results.

In 1997, Michael Dell said he'd shut down Apple and give the money back to the shareholders. Apple's Mac revenue, for just this one quarter, now exceeds Dell's entire revenue in 1997.

In fairness, what Michael was doing, was purposely downplaying Apple, because Dell was king, and that was also during the era of the Steve Jobs-Apple drama. So I think there’s a lot that played into that comment. I mean, the same could be said about what Steve Ballmer was doing. I don’t think anybody envisioned Apple to be the company that it is today from what it was back then.

For real you could not buy an iPad mini last year unless you preordered.

You aren’t required to use Apple services or buy an iPhone. This isn’t the local electric company.

It’s like getting mad at Disney for only selling Disney content. Vertical integration is a completely legal and normal thing all companies try to do. None do it better than Apple.

 

[svish]

Excellent products from Apple. Combined with the holiday season sales, this turns out to be an excellent quarter for Apple.

 

[erikkfi]

You aren’t required to use Apple services or buy an iPhone.

I’m glad the regulatory agencies don’t use the standard of “are you required to use the company’s services or buy their products” when making these decisions.

Also my local electric company has no competition, so if that is the standard, where’s the cavalry?!

 

[Wanted797]

I work for a company that just feels huge here in Australia.

Our annual revenue is around $20b USD
It’s mind boggling Apple triples that… just on iPhones… in one quarter.
