Revenue obtained from “wearables” and accessories dropped 0.6% to 8.76 billion dollars (7.95 billion euros).
The sale of IPhones, the “jewel in the crown” of the company, earned Apple 51.33 billion dollars (46.78 billion euros), a year-on-year growth of 1.5%.
Finally, revenue collected from services grew by 5.5% to USD 20.91 billion (EUR 18.98 billion), below the USD 21.11 billion (EUR 19.17 billion) expected by analysts.
