Quarterly: iPhone sales account for 70% of sales … – ZDNet France

Article updated at 10:30 : Apple is not concerned only for the welfare of its customers. It also has small (large) attention for its shareholders. These clearly have reason to be satisfied. The firm boosted its program for shareholders who now reached $ 200 billion, against 130 billion before. And Apple will buy for $ 140 billion of shares, that is to say, 50 billion more. But the giant also gives a boost to the revalued quarterly dividend by 11%.

“We believe Apple has a great future before him, and the unprecedented scale of our capital return program reflects the strong confidence, “said Tim Cook. “We know that the dividend is important to many of our investors, which is why we are increasing for the third time in less than three years,” he said.

 a turnover of $ 58 billion, up 27% year on year.
 Net profits amounted to $ 13.6 billion for earnings per
 share of 2.33 dollars. Wall Street was expecting 56 CA $ billion
 and earnings per share of 2.16 dollars. These are primarily sales
 iPhone that boosted the results.

with 61,170,000 units sold
 (+ 40% by volume), the Apple smartphone alone accounts for 40.2 billion
 dollars in revenue, or 70% of turnover It compensates for the decline in iPad sales which
 continues 12.6 million units, down 23% in volume and 29% in
 value over the year.

Mac sales grew 10% in volume to 4.5
 million copies, generating greater revenues than
 iPad 5.6 billion against $ 5.4 billion. Revenues from
 services (iTunes, App Store, Mac App Store, iBooks, AppleCare, Apple Pay) have
 generated 4.9 billion (+ 9%). Sales from “other products”
 Apple (iPod, Apple TV, Beats Electronics, accessories) decreased by 10% to 1.6
 billion.
