[first](https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/30/apple-expected-to-post-first-revenue-decline-since-2019-on-thursday-.html) year-over-year decline since 2019 and a 5% decrease from the same timeframe last year, and tallied $30 billion in profit in the period, or $1.88 per share, an 11% decline.

Apple's overall sales for the holiday quarter were about 5% lower than last year's, the first year-over-year sales decline since 2019.

IPhone and Mac sales were down year over year. - Services revenue: $20.77 billion vs. - Other Products revenue: $13.48 billion vs. - iPad revenue: $9.4 billion vs. - Mac revenue: $7.74 billion vs. - iPhone revenue: $65.78 billion vs. - Revenue: $117.15 billion vs. "And so obviously you need to bring in people that are not currently active on a device in order to grow." The primary iPhone assembly plant in China was affected by Covid lockdowns during the quarter, a warning that had been made to investors in November. It also represented a regression from Apple's success over the past two years driven by a need for new computers to work and go to school from home. Services are expected to grow, Maestri said, but Mac and iPad sales are both expected to decline double digits from the year-earlier period. Apple's overall sales for the holiday quarter were about 5% lower than last year's, the first year-over-year sales decline since 2019.

The innovation is the product and they speak for themselves and we feel very good about the product we announced in September and are happy that we're at a point where we're shipping to the demand. We had a number of categories that set new all time records, and did a bit better than we were expecting at the beginning of the quarter. We have a low share and we have a competitive advantage with A: We have experience in that, but I wouldn't necessarily draw the same conclusion in terms of the cost of the product. Look at the opening that started in December, we saw a marked change in traffic in our stores as compared in November and that followed to demand as well. Other aspect is to continue to improve the reach and quality of our services. We've made our best guess at it, in terms of sizing of the constraint in Q1, what we estimate (not with precision), we believe iPhone would have grown during the quarter had it not been for the supply shortages. Keep in mind, a year ago, we exited December below our target inventory range because of supply challenges in the year ago quarter, but not the same issue, just as a point. Mix will continue to help, both within categories and Services as we move away from the holiday season, but doing a lot of work on the cost structure. The problem is behind us, but in terms of going forward and the supply chain, we build our products everywhere. “During the December quarter, we achieved a major milestone and are excited to report that we now have more than 2 billion active devices as part of our growing installed base.” In [HomePod](https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/homepod/), using 100% recycled gold in the printing of circuit boards.

Specifically, the [earnings reports](https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/02/02/apple-posts-11715b-in-revenue-first-miss-in-five-years) arrived around 4:30 P.M. The analyst questions were mostly — and unsucessfully — trying to squeeze future product information out of Cook. [Tim Cook](https://appleinsider.com/inside/tim-cook) both repeatedly pointed to economic uncertainty and issues in [Chinese factories](https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/02/02/tim-cook-iphone-manufacturing-is-the-main-reason-for-earnings-miss) as reasons for the miss.

If Apple enjoys a bullish reaction to its earnings print and flies higher on Friday, a pullback is likely to come next week. The move higher on Thursday was the result of the stock breaking up from a bull flag pattern that was formed between Jan. The measured move of the bull flag is about 18%, which suggests the stock could surge toward $166 if the uptrend continues. Apple’s relative strength index (RSI) is measuring in at about 70%. The 200-day SMA is a bellwether indicator, and when a stock trades above the area, it’s bullish. For that quarter, Apple reported an EPS of $1.29 on revenue of $90.1 billion.

Mac sales will be down at least 10% in the March quarter, based on these comments, but will likely improve. Now Apple is suggesting the business will go from 30% growth to more than a 10% decline. Apple CEO Tim Cook said it was "very hard to estimate" this possibility when analysts asked on the call. A similar decline in the March quarter this year would put sales around $92 billion. But its data points — or "directional insights," as management calls it — allow analysts covering the stock to get a sense of how the company is doing and update their models. "This represents an acceleration in our underlying year-over-year business performance, as the December quarter benefited from an extra week." In other words, December 2022's year-over-year revenue performance was even worse than it looked. But Maestri's comment suggests they won't continue to fall as quickly in the March quarter. If you look at our OpEx guidance, what we said we were going to do this quarter, we came in half of a billion dollars underneath it," Cook said. "We're being prudent and deliberate. Last year, in the March quarter, Apple reported $97.28 billion in sales. Apple said on Thursday that iPhone sales had declined over 8% year over year.

Unfortunately, Apple didn’t give investors specific guidance on what it expects for sales or earnings in Q2, and what Ives said on the matter was more than a little concerning. If the company missed on sales in Q1, but those sales weren’t lost, but merely pushed into a later quarter, doesn’t that seem to imply that Q2 will now be stronger than analysts had expected? With Apple’s contractors’ factories in China unable to run full throttle in the face of China’s zero-Covid restrictions (which were only lifted partially in December, and fully in January), Apple simply wasn’t able to build all the iPhones, iPads, and other iGadgets it would have liked to sell. With cash from operations dwindling, and capital spending on the rise, Apple generated only $30.2 billion in positive cash profits for Q1. But it still represented a 32% year over year decline from the $44.2 billion in free cash flow that Apple churned out in fiscal Q1 2022 — six times the rate of the revenue decline. Wall Street was actually hoping to see something more along the lines of $1.94 per share in profit, and $121.1 billion in sales.
