Flot iPhone-salg vender negativ omsætningstrend for Apple

microsoft, flot iphone-salg vender negativ omsætningstrend for apple

Apples nye smartphone, iPhone 15, har været et hit og en af grundende til, at Apple formåede at hæve omsætningen i første kvartal af finansåret 2024.

Efter fire kvartaler i rap med nedgang i omsætningen er det lykkedes Apple at vende skuden, mestendels takket være salget af techgigantens nye smartphone, iPhone 15.

Det viser selskabets regnskab for finansårets første kvartal, som dækker over de tre måneder frem til 30. december 2023.

Techgiganten formåede at hæve omsætningen med to procent til 119,6 milliarder dollar sammenlignet med samme periode sidste år. Det svarer til 824,4 milliarder danske kroner.

Der blev i første kvartal langet iPhones over disken for 69,7 milliarder dollar (480,5 milliarder kroner). Det er en stigning på 5,97 procent fra den indtjening på 65,8 milliarder dollar, som Apple havde på iPhones i første kvartal i sidste finansår.

Apple formåede desuden at hæve overskuddet med 13,1 procent til 33,9 milliarder dollar. Det svarer til 233,7 milliarder kroner.

Selskabets aktie faldt med 1,7 procent i eftermarkedet.

Apple mistede i januar titlen som verdens mest værdifulde selskab til konkurrenten Microsoft, som står bag kendte softwareprodukter som Windows og Office 365.

Investorer mener ifølge nyhedsbureauet Reuters, at Apple halter bagefter i implementeringen af kunstig intelligens (AI), som i 2023 var techverdenens helt store samtaleemne.

Microsoft har indgået et partnerskab med selskabet OpenAI, som blandt andet står bag den voldsomt populære chatbot ChatGPT.

Apple har gentagne gange understreget, at kunstig intelligens også er på plakaten ved dets innovationsteam, men at man lige nu fokuserer på at udvikle Vision Pro, som er selskabets nye VR-headset.

De første anmeldelser af headsettet indløb torsdag og var af blandet karakter.

Mange anmeldere kalder det bedste VR-headset nogensinde, men understreger, at det stadig er svært, hvordan det 3499 dollar dyre produkt vil appellere til den almindelige forbruger.
