Apple has written the revenue forecast, iPhone sales disappointed

Technology giant dark At this time, she publishes her financial results for the first quarter of 2025, according to her physical division. Apple reported $ 124.3 billion in revenue, thus making a slightly bypassed the $ 124.1 billion analysts. In a share profit line, the company reported $ 2.4 per share, compared with the $ 2.34 analysts’ forecasts. A stock dark Traded without any fundamental change in late trade.

Although the total sales rose in 4% of iPhone sales did not meet expectations and dropped 11% in China. But still Tim Cook, CEO of the company is proud: “Today Apple reports our best quarter ever, with revenue of $ 124.3 billion, an increase of 4% last year.”

While the market responded to declines last Monday following the prey of Deepseek, Apple actually traded in immigration and even re -captured the first place in the world’s largest markets in terms of market value. The Chinese startup that actually challenges the perception of Silicon Valley, which needs extremely powerful processing power to produce artificial intelligence – has led to a storm mainly among chip stocks.

On the other hand, Apple brings in a line as its investments are not in the infrastructure of artificial intelligence. Apple is not trying to develop the strongest model, and its focus is in the implementation of strongest models best on its devices – like the collaboration it has done with OpenAi, with Siri turning complex questions to Chatgpt. Therefore, in line of Deepseek is significant for Apple – as its “easier” models can better act on end devices like iPhone.

A few months ago, Apple Intelligence announced – features of artificial intelligence in its operating system. And although the company launched iPhone 16, it took a while for them to use.

This is a change of perception from the days when Apple did not address the field of artificial intelligence. As mentioned, due to this massive event in the markets, Anabiya cut about 16% of its value, which means Apple returned to catch first place as a company with the highest market value in the world.

And what about the iPhone?

And despite the good news in Apple’s artificial intelligence development, Wall Street is still closely monitoring the ability of the technology giant to maintain its core business – selling iPhones.

Prior to Counterpoint data, in 2024 there was a 4% increase in the sale of global smartphones. However, Apple has held an international share of 18%, which is a 2% decrease from last year. The Samsung competitor, for example, held 19% of the international market share and rose a single percentage earlier. In the third place, Shumomi holds 14%, an increase of 12% earlier.

This is also what is what happens in China. This month, the Canalys research company reported that Apple loses its dominance in China. According to the study, the iPhone deliveries in China have gone 17% to about 43 million units a year. China’s market share in Apple business is 17%, which means it is a significant figure for the company. Wall Street will look closely at this.

Looking forward, investors will follow a few more burning issues: Apple’s competition in the streaming market, and more specific – for the broadcast rights that the company will purchase for relevant international sports leagues. In addition, Wall Street is still examining Apple’s mixed reality helmet, Vision Pro, and looking to see if you will be discovered in a real line.
