-

Apple has released its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, ending on July 1, 2023. The Company posted quarterly revenue of $81.8 billion, down 1 percent year over year, and quarterly earnings per diluted share of $1.26, up 5 percent year over year.  

Let's dive into the numbers and analyze the performance of the company during this period.

Revenue Overview

Overall, Apple's revenues for the quarter were $81.797 billion, showing a slight decrease compared to $82.959 billion from the same period last year. This marks the third consecutive quarter with a year-on-year revenue decline for the company.

Net Income Growth

Despite the slight dip in revenues, Apple's net income for the quarter experienced a modest increase, reaching $19.881 billion, compared to $19.442 billion during the same period in the previous year.

Revenue Breakdown by Product Categories

Despite breakdown of the revenue by product categories, Apple doesn't provide specific sales unit numbers for its hardware products. Here is the breakdown of the revenue by various categories:

iPhone Sales

iPhone sales continued to dominate Apple's revenue stream, generating $39.669 billion in the third quarter. However, this figure represented a decrease from the $40.665 billion recorded during the same period a year ago.

Mac Revenues

Mac PC revenues followed a similar trend, amounting to $6.840 billion in the third quarter, down from $7.382 billion last year.

iPad Revenues

The revenue from iPad sales also experienced a decline, with revenues totaling $5.791 billion in the third quarter, compared to $7.224 billion from the previous year. 

Wearables, Home, and Accessories Division

The division, which includes the popular Apple Watch business, reported revenues of $8.284 billion for the quarter, showing a slight increase from $8.084 billion from the same period in the previous year.

Services Division

The services division, encompassing the App Store, Apple Music, and Apple TV+, witnessed remarkable growth during the third quarter. Revenues soared to $21.213 billion, up from $19.604 billion during the same period last year.

Reactions

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook celebrated impressive growth achieved by the Services division, hailing it as an "all-time revenue record" for the division. Additionally, Cook proudly announced that the company now boasts "over 1 billion paid subscriptions." 
  • Luca Maestri, Apple's Chief Financial Officer, highlighted the company's global success, revealing that their installed base of active devices reached an "all-time high in every geographic segment."

Observations

Apple's fiscal year 2023 third-quarter results depict a mixed performance, with a slight dip in overall revenues but promising growth in net income and the services division. The company's focus on wearables and services seems to be paying off, while its devices continue to enjoy a vast and dedicated user base worldwide.

Future Outlook

Apple's highly anticipated September event, scheduled to take place in about a month, has fans eagerly awaiting the unveiling of the latest iPhone 15 series and the Apple Watch 9 series. The company may also announce the next iteration of iPads and AirPods in the event as well. However, what truly captures the imagination of enthusiasts and industry experts alike is Apple's upcoming Vision Pro handset, with expectations running high for its potential to further solidify Apple's dominance in yet another product category.

Looking ahead, Apple's future appears undeniably promising. The company's strong foothold in various markets, coupled with its continuous innovations and unrivaled customer loyalty, provide a solid foundation for success in the foreseeable future. As the tech giant continues to push the boundaries of possibility, the world eagerly awaits what remarkable advancements and groundbreaking products Apple has in store for its global audience.

Much to my envy, a site I had long hoped to set up was established this week. I often wondered why there was no "Killed by Microsoft" counterpart to Google's "Killed by Google," and the wait is finally over. Launched by Victor Frye, the Microsoft Graveyard is an open-source compilation showcasing discontinued Microsoft-made software and hardware. It's worth noting that the site has no affiliations with Microsoft itself. According to the developer, the website is a "passion project" born out of a fondness for many of these products that met an untimely end. Among them are some of the recent casualties including WordPad , Visual Studio for Mac , Cortana , Windows Phone alongside some late distant memories like ASP.Net Web Matrix, Microsoft Bob, Windows Vista and Zune.

Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) is one of the most hotly anticipated tech events of the year. Sometimes, it would correct the direction of the entire tech industry. The other times, it would convince the world they need another gadget in their lives. Not only media, fans and users look forward to this event, rivals also keep a deep tap on what would come out of Cupertino. It usually is a restless time for everyone until the Keynote is delivered. For the past few years, WWDC has been a bit muted if not outright meh. Except for Apple's in-house silicon announcement for Macs, there isn't anything major that has come out of Cupertino in almost a decade. Things may very well change this time around. The rumor mill is in full swing, especially surrounding Apple’s Mixed Reality Headset.
