ECONOMY – experts have anticipated the trend for a long time, but it is still a hard shot symbolic to Apple. In announcing its quarterly results, apple confirms a decline in its turnover and profit year-on-year. For the first time since the launch of the iPod in 2001.
The iPhone sales have declined again over the quarter ending at the end of September, once again dragging in their wake the financial results of Apple, but the it group of the us, has hinted on Tuesday 25 October, a return to growth in the important holiday period.
The company had spent $ 45.5 million of iPhone between early July and late September, the fourth quarter of its fiscal year offset, which is 5% lower than a year earlier. The loss of speed of the star product of the group has continued to have an impact on its financial performance.
