New iPhone brings strong profits to Apple

With the help of an old friend iPhone, Apple's profits have grown for the first time in a year.

Sales of Apple's flagship products have fallen sharply over the past year, but on Tuesday, Apple said that iPhone revenue had once again grown. The company said that customers have invested heavily in its latest models, and iPhone sales in the most recent quarter increased by 7.7% over the same period last year to nearly $ 56 billion.

This increase helped Apple's profit grow 11.4% to $ 22.3 billion. These numbers easily exceeded Wall Street expectations, which is welcome news for Apple investors. Over the past year, Apple investors have seen Apple's usually strong growth suddenly disappear.

Apple announced four consecutive quarters of shrinking profits before Tuesday, the longest since 2016.

In an interview, Luca Maestri, Apple's chief financial officer, said demand for Apple's latest iPhone (the iPhone 11 series released in September) exceeded expectations. He attributes strong sales to new features such as better cameras and longer battery life, as well as financing options to buy new phones and a $ 50 price cut for the cheapest model.

Wedbush Securities technical analyst Daniel Ives said demand for the new iPhone has been suppressed as many people wait to upgrade their old devices. "It's amazing how strong mobile phone sales are," he said. "More than the Bulls had hoped for."

Apple is also attracted by some of its new products.

Apple's service revenue, or sales from its App Store and subscription products, increased nearly 17% from last year to $ 12.7 billion. Sales of the so-called wearables unit, which includes the Apple Watch and AirPods wireless headphones, rose 37% to just over $ 10 billion.

Analyst Daniel Flax of investment company Neuberger Berman said the growth in services and wearables "provides that the company continues to transform itself."

Apple has also shown continuous improvement in China, which is the second largest market after the United States. A year ago, Apple had to be the first to report earnings because of news that its sales in China would be much lower than expected.

No, your iPhone 12 or Samsung Galaxy S30 does not need a charger

The leak indicates that both Apple and Samsung are preparing to sell smartphones, such as the rumored iPhone 12 and Samsung Galaxy S30, which have no packaging box or charging cable. Instead, these companies may require you to purchase a separate charger or use existing technology already at home. It turns out that this is split, because any manufacturer will lose a key part of its technology, but I believe this is the right approach. I think that manufacturers have taken more responsibility for the waste generated by ordinary people buying new technologies. Throwing unnecessary accessories into the box is a bigger step in bending electronic waste and exceeds your expectations. . According to trusted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 12 will not be equipped with EarPods headphones (cheap wired headphones that you can get for free), nor will it land in the box later this year. Shortly after the iPhone 12 rumors, another report indicated that Samsung is considering whether to adopt so...

Apple just proved that iPhone is more popular than Galaxy S10 and P30 Pro

According to the latest data from Strategy Analytics, Apple was the world's largest smartphone maker in the fourth quarter of 2019. Assuming the data is accurate, this means that the iPhone is more popular than any product released by Samsung or Huawei, including the Galaxy S10 and P30 series. The US tech giant is said to account for 18.9% of the global smartphone market in the fourth quarter of 2019, up from 17.5% in the same period last year. In contrast, Samsung has 18.4% market share, and Huawei has 15% market share. Chinese technology giants Xiaomi and Oppo entered the top five with 8.8% and 8.1% respectively. According to Strategy Analytics, Apple also shipped the most smartphones. Cupertino sold 70.7 million iPhones from October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. It is reported that Samsung has sold 68.8 million smartphones, and Huawei ranked third with 56 million during this period. Xiaomi and Oppo once again ranked fourth and fifth, respectively. It is said that Xiaomi has s...

Apple's cheap iPhone may be released soon and this is how it looks

March is only a few weeks away from us, which means that Apple should probably release some shiny new devices. The American technology company is known for its keynote speeches in the spring, and there are many signs that it won't change in 2020. In fact, a report from the German website iPhone-ticker.de speculated that March 31st (Tuesday) would be the date Apple fans want to appear in the diary. That's obviously not out of reach, but what will Apple really reveal in this rumor? Of course, the US company never revealed anything in advance, but many hope to release updates to the popular iPhone SE. The cheap phone maker hasn't updated in years, and many hope that the lower-priced iPhone will eventually return to the store. Apple's current new smartphones start at £ 729, so those who can't use the iPhone 11 or the flagship iPhone 11 Pro will definitely love this budget model. It's unclear what upgrades the device may undergo, but some new pictures originally...
