Apple earned during the first three months of its fiscal year this year 20,170 million euros (22,236 million dollars), 11.37% more than in the same period last year, boosted by sales of iPhone phones that have returned to resurface
The Cupertino multinational (California, USA) imposed itself on analyst forecasts and surprised with a 7.6% revenue increase in the smartphone category, just after closing a year in which iPhone sales had gone down and doubts had arisen about its future growth.
During the past three months, which includes the Christmas campaign, the time of higher sales for Apple, the company's turnover reached a total value of 83,310 million euros (91,819 million dollars), above 76,490 million euros (84.310 million dollars) in the same period of 2019, and its shareholders pocketed $ 4.99 per share .
While the iPhone was the product that stood out most in the financial results presented on Tuesday by its unexpected show of strength, two other categories considered strategic for the future of the company also experienced remarkable growth.
One of these two categories was that of services , which in the past three months saw the release of Apple TV + , the expected streaming content service , and billed a total of 11,540 million euros (12,715 million dollars), an increase 16.9% over the same period last year.
The other category was that of wearable technology, for home and accessories, among which are the popular Apple Watch smart watch and AirPods headphones, which together billed a significant 36.97% more to reach 9,080 million euros (10.010 million dollars)
The cross of the day were the Mac computers and, above all, the iPad tablets, since both products went down in billing, and were surpassed both by services and wearable technology, for the home and accessories.
"We are delighted to announce the quarter with the highest revenue ever recorded by Apple, boosted by the strong demand of the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 11 Pro, " said company CEO Tim Cook when the results were presented.
Apple's accounts were well received on Wall Street, where its shares appreciated 2.23% to $ 324.76 per share in electronic operations after the closing of New York's parkets.
