Apple misses Q1 earnings expectations as iPhone sales fall short

Apple (AAPL) reported its Q1 earnings after the closing bell on Feb. 2, missing analysts' expectations on the top and bottom line as iPhone sales came up short, declining more than 8% year-over-year.

Here are the most important numbers from the report compared to what Wall Street was expecting, as compiled by Bloomberg.

Revenue: $117.1 billion versus $121.1 billion expected

Adj. earnings per share: $1.88 versus $1.94 expected

iPhone revenue: $65.7 billion versus $68.3 billion expected

Mac revenue: $7.7 billion versus $9.72 billion expected

iPad revenue: $9.4 billion versus $7.7 billion expected

Wearables: $13.4 billion versus $15.3 billion expected

Services: $20.7 billion versus $20.4 billion expected

Apple shares were down more than 3% immediately following the report.

Apple faced significant headwinds throughout November and December, from COVID lockdowns and worker protests at manufacturer Foxconn’s facility in Zhengzhou, China. The plant, which employs 200,000 workers, produces the bulk of Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max handsets.

ass, as though they are some great oracle. It is joke.

Those numbers in the BILLIONS are nothing to sneeze at, especially in light of inflation and layoffs
