Apple’s quarterly results are better than expected. The iPhone in particular is responsible for the increase in sales – but there have also been significant increases in other areas.
Apple made as much money in the past quarter as it once did in the Christmas season. Revenue jumped 36 percent year over year to $ 81.4 billion.
The bottom line was a profit of a good $ 21.7 billion (18.4 billion euros) left – 93 percent more than a year earlier, as Apple announced after the US market closed.
It was again the iPhone that made the majority of the increase. Sales in the iPhone business rose by almost half to around $ 39.6 billion. But there was also significant growth in Mac computers, iPads and other devices.
The services business, in which revenues from subscription offers such as Apple Music or iCloud storage flow together, grew by almost a third to almost 17.5 billion dollars in the fiscal quarter that ended at the end of June.
The quarterly figures were significantly better than analysts expected. However, in an initial reaction in after-hours trading, the share fell slightly.
