Apple presented its latest quarterly report last nighttime , and the effect , asanalysts had predicted , were the best in the company ’s almost 46 - year history .
tax income for the financial first fourth of 2022 – which in calendar terms cover the three months ended 25 December 2021 – was $ 123.9bn ( more or less £ 93bn ) , up from $ 111.4bn in the same period the twelvemonth before . This represents a healthy class - on - year increase of 11 % .
It ’s deserving noting , before we go any further , that Q1 2021 was itself a phonograph record - breaker . At the timewe noted : “ The company has broken records in every class and made 21 % more revenue than the same quarter [ in 2020 ] . ”
nett gain for Q1 2022 was $ 34.6bn ( roughly £ 26bn ) . That ’s up 20 % from the $ 28.8bn earnings record in Q1 2021 .
Apple also demote down the numbers by segment . The iPhone stay to answer for for the lion ’s portion of Apple ’s revenue : $ 71.6bn in Q1 2022 , which is up 9 % from last yr .
Most other segments also saw year - on - class growth : the Mac brought in $ 10.9bn ( up 25 % ) , serve $ 19.5bn ( up 24 % and a record ) , and the Wearables , Home and accoutrement family which include the Apple Watch , AirPods and various other mixed point $ 14.7bn ( up 13 % ) .
The iPad , however , was down 14 % on Q1 2021 , with revenue of $ 7.2bn . This may reflect difficulties with supplying , or the fact that Apple did n’t update its popular iPad Air throughout the year ; anew modelis ultimately expected to arrive this saltation .
In truthsupply constraintscaused by the chip shortage were expected to hamper many of Apple ’s category , not least the all - important iPhone . That this did n’t cause more problems is testament to the efficiency of Apple ’s supplying range , or perhaps simply to the firm ’s ability to throw its weight around and getspecial treatment .
