Apple is to be congratulated!

Contrary to what everyone would expect, Apple broke its sales record in the last quarter of 2016. The culprit? The iPhone.

Tim Cook's company yesterday revealed its results for the last 3 months of 2016, this being the first quarter of the 2017 fiscal year. Contrary to all speculations made until then, the results were very positive and exceeded those recorded in the same period of the previous year. The numbers don't lie, revenues reached $78.4 billion, a never-before-seen record and an increase of $2.5 billion over the previous year. Less surprising is the fact that the main culprit is once again the iPhone, representing about 70% of the brand's total sales (sales value in $), which translates into more than 78 million units sold, despite not having values ​​and units sold by model have been disclosed. It left behind other products such as the iPad, Mac and other services and products, which continue, for better or for worse, to be a secondary source of revenue. Tim Cook was happy with the results, saying that never before had so many iPhones been sold and that revenues from products such as the Mac, Apple Watch and other services (such as the Apple Store) had also reached levels higher than in previous years. The year couldn't haved better for the brand that continues to be the market leader, leaving brands like Samsung and Huawei in the background. Congratulations APPLE!
