The iPhone continues to carry Apple, however, sales are flat for the first time in the device’s history.
As part of the company’s latest quarterly earnings announcement, Apple revealed today that it sold 74.8 million iPhones, 16.1 million iPads, and 5.3 million Macs during its fiscal first quarter of 2016. These are mixed results, which should come as no surprise for those who watch the company’s numbers closely.
In Q1 2015, Apple sold 74.5 million iPhones, 21.4 million iPads, and 5.5 million Macs. This implies that year-over-year, iPhone sales were up 0.4 percent, and while that means the company set a new record yet again, it isn’t the double-digit growth analysts are used to. iPad sales were down 25 percent, and Mac sales were down 3.6 percent.
Q1 2015 industry estimates for iPhone sales ranged between 75.18 million and 78.74 million while estimates for iPads ranged between 17.13 million and 18.22 million. Apple thus failed to reach both iPhone and iPad estimates.
