We had an amazing quarter, with iPhone revenue up 59 percent over last year, strong sales of Mac, all-time record revenue from services, driven by the App Store, and a great start for Apple Watch. The excitement for Apple Music has been incredible, and we’re looking forward to releasing iOS 9, OS X El Capitan and watchOS 2 to customers in the fall. [ Tim Cook, Apple CEO ]
- iPhone: 47,5 Millionen Stück – etwas unterhalb der Erwartungen
- iPad : 10,9 Millionen Einheiten – im Plan
- Mac: 4,8 Millionen Modelle – wie erwartet
- Apple Watch: Das große Fragezeichen
In the third quarter our year-over-year growth rate accelerated from the first half of fiscal 2015, with revenue up 33 percent and earnings per share up 45 percent. We generated very strong operating cash flow of $15 billion, and we returned over $13 billion to shareholders through our capital return program. [ Luca Maestri, Apple CFO ]
Alles ist gut, so die Botschaft. Im Herbst kommen OS X El Capitan, iOS 9 und das neue Watch OS. Apple Music ist gut gestartet, obwohl ausgerechnet heute die Server von Apple einen kurzfristigen Schluckauf hatten.
