That ban had no effect on iphone sales.
People who had the note 7 generally went with the S7/S7 edge due to the offers customers received by sticking with samsung

Yadda, yadda, yadda. People don't care about desktops anymore, the bulk of the market is in laptops anyway and both the MB and MBP are completely new and exciting. The problem is the dollar strength versus all other major currencies and the less than spectacular performance increase of Intel chips. The price is just too high for a computer which you don't absolutely need to upgrade. Apple isn't neglecting the Mac, they're just drifting from affordable luxury to unaffordable luxury pricewise.
They will no doubt bring out a charging pad from the sounds for wireless charging that will cost £50 i imagine.
Well its hardly a SINGLE product is it?
Have you seen how many flavors of iphone there are now?
Oh yeah I forgot about the revolutionary wireless charging.. that you'll still need to plug an adapter into the wall socket for.... I suspect they'll charge £100 for it, I mean that's the cost of the Apple Pencil after its £20 price rise cause of 'brexit'....
5.4 million mac solds? HOW? Must be due to mbp...and not other macs. Tim needs to be specific on each macs.
Also, most MBP buyers came from windows…An all-new MacBook Pro form factor and the needle barely changed.
well seeing as the whole charging when you enter the room appears not close to being possible so charging on a pad is likely coming.
I was never keen on the charging wireless on a pad...but the wireless charging stand that lets you stick it up the one samsung brought out last year i thought is ideal. Thats the kind of charging pad you need..having one lying flat for me is only useful when you are asleep..no point in a flat pad when you have to take it off to use it.
I've kept my samsung charging pad incase i do look at the S8 plus. Hell I was put off the note 8 but it's hard not to at least be tempted by that phone. Just needs to be save lol
"Siri is a joke, who uses a Mac for productivity?"
As an engineer and photographer, I've been using Macs for a long time professionally. As do millions of others. And Siri works fine for me.
Are you a professional? What do you do?
"And as said before, how do you know they are repeat customers?"
Oh, OK. For the last couple years when Apple has been selling around 200 million phones/year, they are all new customers. That makes a lot of sense. Got it. Just like everyone here is on their 1st iPhone and 1st Mac.
The iPhone 7 was pretty much supply constrained. Doesn't seem like Apple was able to capitalise on the note 7 problems as much as they would liked to.
Yep...

Oh I'm having a fun time with some of these comments. Keep them coming.
Cook can say whatever he wants to about "products in the pipeline" but he's been feeding everybody that same line for the last 5 years. Nobody is fooled Timmy. You've abandoned and alienated your professional base in your all consuming quest for thinness and nothing you can say will get them back. The emperor is wearing no clothes and everyone but Cook can see it.
@Gudi is right. Objectively looking at numbers, it doesn't say much for the Mac category. New product, holiday season, and an extra week of sales tacked on, and the Mac numbers barely beat YoY when there was nothing new at all and one less week of sales. One would have expected the Mac number to be higher in such an advantageous environment.
The industry as a whole was down, but the top vendors were all up... 'cept for Asus. As an aside, Gartner hit Apple's PC number pretty damn perfectly. IDC, not so much.

Look, our currency has plummeted in value against the dollar, cost also needs to factor in further likely loss. The change in prices is in line with this drop. You don't like it tough, blame those who voted leave, not Apple.
Apple's YOY profit is down ~2.7%.
Apple did more business and made less money. Good? Bad? Go!
Very impressive figures which many companies couldn't even dream of.
However, the more strategic long term thinkers amongst us may have noticed that:
1.) the reporting period was slightly longer than normal, inflating the figures where actually, they would have shown a decline year on year in a normal period
2.) the huge reliance on the iPhone for the bulk of the business's revenue remains a serious risk and should there be a significant public backlash against the iPhone in the future, could rapidly take Apple down.
3.) the other business areas are not seeing any significant growth.
4.) iPad sales continue to decline despite Apple pushing the Pro models as the future of computing
5.) Apple has very high operating costs due to its size and is expanding its property portfolio massively. Major decline in demand for the iPhone could rapidly turn these amazing figures into very ordinary ones
6.) despite Apple's enormous cash hoard, product innovation is stagnant and the company is falling behind competitors in all of its key categories
So while things look outstanding in the short term, longer term I predict the bubble will burst dramatically unless the deviation from core values and lack of product innovation is addressed very soon.

Well, you would expect a recently launched product to break records. While not a failure, there's simply not enough data provided to claim it's a success either. Apple does not give Watch numbers as they're all buried in the "Other" category that includes Apple TV, Beats, iPods, AirPods, etc. That category shrank 8%.
Of course nobody will be calling out Cook for his abandonment of the Mac for fear of being excluded from future earnings calls by a pouty child
