John Gruber commented on Apple’s Q1 2017 Results.
Year-over-year unit sale changes, from Apple’s data summary:
- iPhone up to 78.3 million from 74.8 million.
- iPad down to 13.1 million from 16.1 million.
- Mac up slightly, to 5.4 million from 5.3 million.
- “Services” are up significantly, percentage-wise, to 6.1 billion a year ago.
iPhone, Mac, and services are strong. iPad sales aren’t a disaster, but continue to slide. The year-over-year revenue numbers are telling (Q1 2017 / Q1 2016, in billions):
- iPhone: 51.6
- iPad: 7.1
- Mac: 6.7
- Services: $7.2 / 6.1
A year ago, iPad revenue was greater than that from Mac and services. Now, iPad has fallen behind both.
Record quarters revenue.
