Apple expected to post fourth consecutive quarterly sales decline Thursday::Analysts haven’t missed Apple’s lack of growth this year and want to see the company thriving again.
The September quarter isn’t Apple’s biggest or slowest quarter of the year and only includes about a week or so of iPhone 15 sales. The December quarter is Apple’s biggest of the year by revenue — right now, analysts expect $122.97 billion in sales, or 5% growth, even versus a quarter last year that included an extra week because of fiscal calendars.
So this article is a complete nothing burger. They’re expecting a 1% decline this quarter compared to the same quarter last year, while expecting the next quarter to show 5% growth over last year.
Which is unsurprising. Last year the iPhone 14 released on September 16, while this year the 15 lineup wasn’t released until September 22nd.
