40.4 milioane de iPhone, 9.9 milioane de iPad si 42.4 miliarde incasari in T2 2016

Compania Apple tocmai a anuntat rezultatele financiare pentru al doilea trimestru fiscal al anului 2016, cei din Cupertino, iar conform informatiilor furnizate de catre ea, vorbim despre 40.4 milioane de terminale iPhone, 9.9 milioane de tablete iPad si 4.2 milioane de Mac-uri vandute in perioada 01 aprilie – 30 iunie 2016.

Pentru aceste trei luni, compania Apple a incasat 42.4 miliarde de dolari si a avut profit de 7.8 miliarde de dolari, rezultatele sale fiind desigur mai mici decat cele inregistrate in cel de-al doilea trimestru fiscal al anului 2015, insa acest lucru era de asteptat, avand in vedere ca nici in T1 2016 lucrurile n-au stat mai bine.

Fata de T2 2015 vanzarile de terminale iPhone au scazut cu peste 6.6 milioane de unitati, vanzarile de tablete iPad au scazut cu 1 milion de unitati, in timp ce vanzarile de Mac-uri au scazut cu 0.5 milioane de unitati, incasarile fiind cu 6.6 miliarde de dolari mai mici, profitul scazand cu 2.9 miliarde de dolari.

Practic, Observam ca Apple continua trendul negativ din T1 2016 si acest lucru se va prelungi pentru T3 2016 si poate chiar pentru cel de-al patrulea trimestru fiscal al anului, vanzarile produselor importante ale companiei Apple inregistrand scaderi constante pe fondul unei scaderi a intereuslui consumatorilor.

Desi Apple a reusit sa isi depaseasca propriile estimari privind rezultatele financiare pentru T2 2016, din pacate comparatia cu acelasi trimestru fiscal al anului precedent ne da de inteles ca este nevoie de schimbari majore pentru ca vanzarile sa creasca, iar produsele actuale nu sunt suficient de atractive pentru consumatori.

Cu un iPhone 7 care nu va aduce schimbarile pe care clientii le cer, exista posibilitatea ca pana in toamna anului 2017 vanzarile companiei Apple sa fie la fel de slabe si nu doar pentru iPhone, ci si pentru iPad, sau chiar linia de Mac-uri.
