    Sharp contrast between Apple and Samsung smartphone performance in Q2. Those with a China presence rode the post lockdown recovery. Those without languished. $AAPL
  • @benbajarin Ben Bajarin on x
    A big takeaway observing Apple's earnings this quarter is the sheer resiliency of the company and their products.
  • @inafried Ina Fried on x
    Sales were up from a year ago in each product category, with particular strength in Mac, and iPad sales and continued growth in services and wearables. https://twitter.com/...

    Tim Cook: “In uncertain times, this performance is a testament to the important role our products play in our customers' lives and to Apple's relentless innovation.”

    Tim on channel inventory - iPhone slightly less YOY (end of Q) - repeats that iPad and Mac are constrained $AAPL
  • @ldignan Larry Dignan on x
    Perhaps the most shocking thing in $AAPL quarter was a stock split. Seems to be bucking the tech tide with a 4-for-1 split “to make the stock more accessible to a broader base of investors.” Shares in the thousands have become the vanity plate of tech. https://www.apple.com/...
  • @kirkburgess Kirk Burgess on x
    Apple trailing 12 month gross margin is now $104.6 Billion - a record amount. $AAPL

    #evidence driven agility" is how @tim_cook refers to #AppleStores opening and closing during #Covid19 - carefully chosen words there #AAPL #earnings
  • @munster_gene Gene Munster on x
    The day's of investors penalizing Apple's earnings multiple for its hardware business should end in the quarters ahead. Applying a FB, GOOG or MSFT multiple to shares of AAPL suggest AAPL at $500 or better.
  • @benbajarin Ben Bajarin on x
    Key statement from Tim Cook on transition to Apple Silicon. “Unprecedented performance for Macs and a common architecture across Mac and iOS devices.”
  • @bzamayo Benjamin Mayo on x
    Apple's results were so good in spite of the pandemic that Cook is almost apologising for it on the call, “our results stand in stark relief” to the wider economic troubles.
  • @iansherr Ian Sherr on x
    “Apple set a new standard for what online events can achieve,” Cook says of WWDC. He said 22 million viewers tuned in across all of Apple's streams (but not clear if that includes all the events throughout the week or just the big keynote?)

    The pivot to services continues to do well! It's HALF the size of the iPhone business. Bigger than any other non-iPhone category. No wonder Apple is keen to keep expanding the take from the tollbooth. https://twitter.com/...

    Investors will be very happy with the Apple 4-1 split. Also, big beat just like I expected.

    Apple smashes Q3 earnings estimates, reporting $59.7 billion in revenue (up 11%), $26.4b for iPhone, $13.2b for services, $6.5 billion for other products, $6.6 billion for iPad, $7.1 billion for Mac.

    Amazing what selling cheaper devices can do for your business. https://www.cnbc.com/... I'll update these two charts in the next https://apple.substack.com/ but please always take a look at the disaster that was the XS and how perfect the 11 fit the consumers expectations & pocke…

    🍎 @Apple #China #iPhone sales up 225% in Q2 amid recovery, research shows. Cheaper iPhone SE, iPhone 11 series, & discounts helped. Sell-thru volume hit 7.4mln units, +32% y/y. Sell-thru = units via retail partners (gauge for actual sales to consumers.) https://www.cnbc.com/...

    Tim Cook: iPhone inventory is slightly less than a year ago. (May not seem like much but that is very useful tidbit for an Apple financial analyst.)

    “Delivering a product people think they can't go through life without” this is @tim_cook product statement and how everyone still feels about #smartphones and nearly none felt about tablets overall #AAPL #earnings
  • @arjunkharpal Arjun Kharpal on x
    Apple's #China iPhone sales jump 225% in the second quarter versus the first quarter of 2020. The iPhone 11 continues to perform well, with momentum helped by recent discounts. And the iPhone SE has helped Apple become aggressive on price. $AAPL https://www.cnbc.com/...
  • @markgurman Mark Gurman on x
    Cook also said that the pandemic likely hurt iPhone and wearables sales, but boosted iPad and Mac purchases. Also said AppleCare and ads were impacted, but said they made record revenue for the App Store, Apple Music, video and cloud services.
  • @neilcybart Neil Cybart on x
    Apple reported an all-time Mac revenue record for FY3Q (April to June). $7.1 billion of revenue exceeds the previous record by nearly 20%. Remarkable.
  • @mims Christopher Mims on x
    Apple's earnings are amazing but remember that the bubble in tech spending is just that. Gartner projects overall sales of laptops this year will be down 14% vs. 2019. https://www.wsj.com/... https://twitter.com/...
  • @tomwarren Tom Warren on x
    Apple's strong Mac and iPad revenue lines up with what we're seeing on the PC side: surge in demand for remote working / education. It's impossible to work fully on your phone all day so people are prioritizing devices they'll use at home
  • @bleedsixcolors Six Colors on x
    When Tim Cook suggested three months ago that the pandemic seemed to be driving interest in the Mac and iPad, this is apparently what he meant. https://twitter.com/...
  • @chancehmiller Chance Miller on x
    Apple's Q3 2020 numbers are nothing short of insane. The work-from-home effects drove Mac revenue up 21% YOY and iPad revenue up 31% YOY. https://9to5mac.com/...

    I'd like to personally thank Tim Cook for the 4:1 Apple stock split. The RobinHood traders are going to pump it like crazy on August 31st.

    Apple crushed estimates. The shares are up 5% AH. The company also announced a 4-for-1 stock split. This will be Apple's 5th split since the IPO 40 years ago. One share bought at a IPO will soon be 224 shares.
  • @asymco Horace Dediu on x
    Apple reached the target of doubling of its service revenue since 2016 six months ahead of schedule. This was evident to followers of this account some time ago.

    $AAPL services rev growth decellerated for the 3rd consecutive quarter and dropped below 15% for the first time since 2015.
