We followed the pattern of tech companies,” said The Wall Street Journal, a daily economic newspaper.

“This quarter’s record performance demonstrates Apple’s commitment to constant innovation, unlocking new possibilities and enriching the lives of our customers,” said Tim Cook. As part of Apple's long-standing commitment to making products for everyone, from new features to protect to tools to improve accessibility, Apple continues to lead by its values and make every product I express my values with this,” he commented. CFO Luca Maestri noted that the third quarter of 2022 was a 'challenging business environment,' and that the earnings release reflected the strength of Apple's ecosystem.

According to Cook, Apple succeeded in attracting Android users to the iPhone this quarter. “We saw record levels of migrants and double-digit percentage growth in first-time iPhone users,” Cook said.

It turned out. Cook claims that this is due to a shortage of parts supply and a strong dollar, and due to delays in shipping Macs due to parts shortages, the loss is slightly below the previously predicted $ 4 billion (about 540 billion yen). He said he left. Also, Apple

announced a new MacBook Air with an M2 chip in June, but it will start shipping in July. Other product categories, such as wearable devices such as Air Pods and Apple Watch and Home Pod speakers, saw sales of $ 8.08 billion (about 1.87 trillion yen), down 8% year-on-year.

Service sales, including subscriptions to apps distributed on Apple Music, iCloud, and the App Store, increased 12% year-on-year to $19.6 billion (about 2.63 trillion yen).
