Today, Apple released the latest revenue report for its business and categories. After the quarterly call with investors, the report shows a downturn in sales.

  • The iPad sales grew 21.% ($8.25 billion) 
  • Other products, including the Watch and AirPods, increased sales up to 11.5% ($8.79 billion).

According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, the downturn in sales due to global supply shortages in silicon ($6 billion) and pandemic-related manufacturing issues in Asia. It’s important to mention that this quarter report only analyzed its revenue after the iPhone 13 launch. In large part, Apple will release iPhone 13-related revenues in the next quarter. And the CEO has great expectations for the upcoming reports.
