Welcome to our weekly collection of all the Apple news you missed this week , in a handy collation - sized roundup . We call it Apple Breakfast because we think it go cracking with a aurora cupful of coffee or tea , but it ’s cool if you want to give it a read during lunch or dinner party hours too .
Money today, uncertainty tomorrow
Another quarter , anothermuscular pay report . Malus pumila justcan’t stop make money .
On Thursday the company account $ 97.3 billion in gross for the 2nd fiscal quarter of 2022 , up 9 percentage on the same one-fourth last year , and a stunning $ 25 billion in net . Both trope are all - time second - quarter records , and almost every mathematical product category ( the iPad deal a small dip ) showed emergence . Apple reached new highs in its install base in every one of its major product categories and geographical section . And all this was against a backdrop which fiscal expert call a “ tough comparison . ” It ’s a phenomenal execution .
But Jason Snell – based on stochasticity made by Apple itself – senses uncertainty ahead . Supply range of mountains constraints loom again , and CFO Luca Maestri has warned that this poop Apple will miss out on between four and eight billion in revenue in unfulfilled demand . It ’s rugged to drop down eight bill and keep winning .
Apple has been an astounding succeeder tale during what ’s been a inexorable period for everyone else . Yet that was n’t totally unexpected . In some areas , the rise of remote work juiced need for Apple product , and the company was well equipped than most to handle the demands of the new normal . But mostly , Apple was able-bodied to shrug off knotty conditions because it ’s so big and so ample , and has such a large and well - established base of firm customer .
That does n’t mean , of course , that Apple will be immune forever . For a longsighted time the caller was able to shrug off component shortfall by calling in favour and gettingpreferential treatment . That workeduntil it did n’t .
So the future is unsettled . It would be dopey to bet against Apple , which has beat the odds before and will belike carry on churning out money for ten to come . But past performance , as they say , is no guaranty of future results . And every imperium crumbles in the remainder .
It ’s time for Apple to startthinking differentagain – and a small weird .
