IT giants Apple and Facebook have announced their financial results for the three months to last month, and their business has grown significantly due to the fact that many people are spending time at home due to the effects of the new coronavirus.
On the 28th, Apple and Facebook announced their financial results from January to last month.
Among them, Apple's iPhone sales increased, and iPad sales are also strong because many people are spending time at home due to the influence of the new coronavirus, with sales of 89,584 million dollars, about 9 trillion in Japanese yen. It was 700 billion yen, an increase of more than 53% compared to the same period of the previous year.
The final profit also increased significantly to about 2.5 trillion yen in Japanese yen.
"It reflects how each product has supported people's lives," said Cook, CEO of Apple.
In addition, sales of Facebook increased by about 48% due to the continued strong performance of the online advertising business, and the final profit almost doubled, resulting in a significant increase in sales and profits.
In the United States, while the performance of giant IT companies continues to expand, it has been criticized for using its monopoly position to hinder competition, and parliament and others are discussing tightening regulations.
