Tim Cook comments on the services sector and the iPhone
Apple said it acquired 40 million new paid subscription to services during the last quarter (October-December 2020), bringing the total subscribers to 660 million paid subscriptions across all services, an increase of 145 million over the second fiscal quarter of last year.
Apple CEO Tim Cook highlighted the latest Apple service announcements, Apple Card family subscriptions and podcasts, both of which are set to be launched in the near future.
During the earnings call, Tim Cook was asked about iPhone 12 sales and which iPhones were the most popular with consumers during the quarter. He confirmed that the iPhone 12 was the most famous, and he also explained that sales of the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max are also strong, but there was no mention of sales of the iPhone 12 mini, which means an implicit admission of rumors that its sales were weak.
It is worth noting that Apple is still planning to produce the iPhone 13 mini this year, but this volume will be discontinued as of next year.

Despite the Corona pandemic, which caused economic crises, it was expected that Apple would be the most affected by the high prices of its devices; However, it appears that the company's steps are on the right path as Apple continues to generate strong revenues; It is expected that sales of Mac and iPad devices in the next third fiscal quarter will witness another similar, if not better, boom with the entry of sales IPad Pro and iMac Apple unveiled them with the M1 processor last week, in addition to the WWDC conference in which it will unveil its independent systems, which may encourage new people to acquire Apple devices.

Thank you for the effort

It is worth noting that Apple is still planning to produce the iPhone 13 mini this year, but this volume will be discontinued as of next year.
The worst news I heard, because the technology is why the iPhone mini is stopped, why do not complete its production, even if in smaller quantities, because there may be a loss, but what is the fault of the people who love and adore this size
What is the source of stopping the iPhone mini next year? Is this a statement from the company itself, a leak from a famous leak, or a personal expectation?
Thank you for this nice topic
Apple used a double-selling policy
The company is smart marketing
And you know that the purchase will be small, so the price has been doubled for the elite, the owners of capital, and the world whose pennies are bewildered and preferring to be distinguished from others.
But as a user of Apple's 3GS, I don't see any radical change, or in a healthy sense, a new industry, a new idea that makes the user a new habit, and ideas are no longer available.
I wish you would explain to us how to invest in Apple stocks (Al-Eshq Ghalab)
Apple products are known for their quality as an industry
But how can profits increase in this way even though the world is going through a very difficult economic crisis?!?
This includes individuals, as many families have been affected, or at least they have become more prudent in their expenses
Reasonably, the world has a quantity of madmen capable of achieving these profits 😂
You are without the Corona crisis and my iPhone 6
And God knows when I raise him 😂😂😂
If you comment on your words, I might hurt you with words ,,, but the world has 7 billion people ,, not all of them have the same capabilities or even the same capabilities that you see around you ,,, If you see the value of 1000 dollars as a fortune ,,, others see it with tips ,,, do not be limited Thinking and narrow-mindedness and calling people crazy as if you are living alone around the globe !!!! Or as if the world only has the Arab world ,,, the people of China and India are only equal to 3 billion people ,, in your opinion, if they have 100 million people who are Apple customers, what is left for the world !!!!! Pho
Hi
Do not forget that the largest countries are now operating from their homes, and this leaves the demand to increase.
We have to think about what happened on the other side
The global crisis did not harm the big companies, but it increased them with great support from governments, especially developed countries. For example: These companies obtained very large loans in the billions, without any interest for the first five years, and this depends on the size of the company.
Brother, I advise you to read more to see the world from the other side, this book is useful Mindset: by Carol Dweck.
Leave in the care and protection of God
I expect it will collapse
Wan Do not get creative after the death of Steve Jobs
And that company is lagging behind and the iPhone is a stupid device
I say as the 7-year-old Arab community says 😂😂😂
And every year the profits are staggering, and no one sells anything but flavoursips 😍
If the iPhone is a stupid device, someone would have bought it
no comment
Yes, I expect the profits to continue
A strong company forward
