Apple profit tops Wall Street target but iPhone sales weak in China

The Manila Times

Apple profit tops Wall Street target but iPhone sales weak in China   Apple beat Wall Street's quarterly profit estimates on Jan. 30, 2025, but iPhone sales and China revenue for the holiday quarter were weak due to stiff Chinese competition and a slow rollout of artificial intelligence features. The company's overall sales and profits were boosted by stronger-than-expected sales of iPads and Macs, where new chips helped persuade customers to upgrade. The lack of AI selling points contributed to iPhone sales that dropped slightly to $69.14 billion, compared with the $71.03 billion that analysts were expecting, according to LSEG data. Greater China sales dropped to $18.51 billion, compared with $20.82 billion a year earlier and below the $21.33 billion that a Visible Alpha survey of five analysts expected.
