Apple’s weak iphone sales drive first profit miss since 2016

Apple on Thursday reported sales and profits that missed Wall Street expectations, driven by weak iphone sales after COVID lockdowns in China disrupted production of the company’s biggest seller.

Apple sales fell 5% to $117.2 billion and were down in every part of the world in the fourth quarter. Sales from each product category dropped, except for gains in services and ipads. Earnings per share were $1.88, Apple’s first miss of Wall Street’s profits expectations since 2016.

Analysts had expected sales of $121.1 billion and profits of $1.94 per share, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
