San Francisco / Bangalore (Reuters) – Apple is due to a significant increase in iPhone sales grew strongly in the spring.

       

Revenue rose during the quarter to the end of June by nearly a third to $ 49.61 billion, the surplus as much as 38 percent to 10.68 billion, as the US technology group announced on Tuesday evening. However, the management gave a cautious outlook. Thus, income will add up in the current quarter to 49 to 51 billion dollars. Analysts polled by Reuters had most recently expected a little more than 51 billion dollars. In addition, some experts had expected an even higher iPhone sales. The share of the most valuable company in the world fell over the counter from nearly seven percent.

       

Apple sat in the quarter from 47.5 million iPhones. Although these are 35 percent more than the same period last year, but 22 percent less than in the first three months of 2015. Some analysts had 49 million sold smartphones expected.

       

The disappointment and weighed more than the forecast in after-hours trading stronger than the growth in China, where sales of 13.2 billion more than doubled. Here it runs better, since Apple is cooperating with the world’s biggest mobile phone company China Mobile. Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri pointed out that the strong dollar makes US products more expensive overseas. This is a challenge, he told the news agency Reuters.

        
       

No concrete figures FOR APPLE CLOCK

       

For months experts are eagerly awaiting information about marketing of the imported in April computer clock of Californians. Although Maestri explained that Watch surpassed internal expectations. However, he did not mention figures. Apple CEO Tim Cook added that the clock had been sold at best in June. He came towards speculation about a fall in demand.

       

Apple did not lead the Watch as a separate item in the balance sheet at quarter but grabbed her in the category “other products”, which includes, inter alia, iPods, Apple TV and Beats devices. Here, sales rose year on year by almost half to more than 2.6 billion dollars. Here, the sales of iPod music players was declining According to Cook.

       

The SmartWatch is the first completely new product of the era Cook and important as compensation, because the iPad sales have been declining for some time. Critics have the successor to the computer pioneer Steve Jobs accused of Apple is not innovative enough. But experts believe the group to, with the new high-tech clock the market for direct body-worn devices (wearables) vigorously shake up, on the cavort also Samsung, Sony and LG.
