Apple’s earning

On July 30, Apple released its fiscal 2019 third quarter (ended June 29): a quarterly revenue of $53.8 billion, an increase of 1% from the year-ago quarter, and quarterly earnings per diluted share of $2.18, down 7%.

International sales accounted for 59% of the quarter’s revenue. “This was our biggest June quarter ever — driven by all-time record revenue from Services, accelerating growth from Wearables, strong performance from iPad and Mac and significant improvement in iPhone trends,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “These results are promising across all our geographic segments, and we’re confident about what’s ahead. The balance of calendar 2019 will be an exciting period, with major launches on all of our platforms, new services and several new products.”

The invite for tonight’s Apple event, sent out to select media, shows the Apple logo made up of five different bright colours which allude to the old-school six-colour logo the brand donned years ago. Analysts, however, are speculating that the to-be-released iPhone 11 won’t live up to the hype, not attracting the buyers for which Apple has been striving.

On March 25, 2019 Apple held a special event to announce the launch of new Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade.

Apple for the first time is streaming the launch of their product live at You Tube.
