The profit and revenue of Apple's quarterly quarterly focused on competition in China, and despite the decrease in iPhone sales, he was hidden after the forecast of the Wall Street.
Thursday groups reported $ 124.3 billion in December in December. Bloomberg's opinion polls increased $ 124.1 billion, 4 %, in a public poll of Bloomberg in the same period of the previous year. Net income rose by about 7 % to $ 36.3 billion, exceeding $ 35.5 billion.
However, the iPhone sales were $ 69.1 billion, but it was less than $ 71 billion.
The revenue in China, whose competitive pressure from local smartphone manufacturers, such as Huawei and Xiaomi, has decreased by about 11 % to $ 18.5 billion.
Apple said that despite the expected 2.5 % negative effects of foreign exchange rates, it is expected to be low due to the mid -term growth of the first -digit income in the fiscal year quarter.
This is the first time since Apple developed Apple Intelligence, a suite of artificial intelligence function, including partnership with Openai. This feature has not yet been introduced in a language beyond English. More languages will be added in April.
“We are very optimistic about the deep impact of AI,” said Financial Times, Kevan Parekh, the highest financial officer of Apple. This year, Parekh took over from Luca Maestri, which has been in his 10 years, and has taken his role.
According to Parekh, the performance of the AI-AI-APHABLED iPhone 16 was stronger than the market where Apple Intelligence could not be used, suggesting that the suite had the interest of consumers. In a phone call with analysts, Apple's highest executive Officer Tim Cook stated that this was a “positive indicator.”
“They still hold Apple Intelligence as a driver for sale, and they say they have data to support it,” said Gene Munster of DeepWater Asset Management.
According to Munster, Apple's quarter guidance was encouraging. Stocks rose about 3 % in outside business hours.
Apple's service business, including App Store, iCloud, and Apple Pay, recorded a record of $ 26.3 billion in December in December. The iPad and MacBook products have grown two digits.
The result is as increased as concerns about the effects of Donald Trump's trade policy. This week, the US President promised to impose tariffs on Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturers. Apple's supply chain greatly depends on Asian exporters.
Parekh refused to comment on potential tariff risks, stating that the company is “monitoring the situation carefully.”
