Apple's incredible growth streak is officially over

Apple’s decade-plus-long growth streak is officially over. And the company says it will be at least a few more months before it picks up again.

Apple reported today that its second-quarter revenue fell to $50.6 billion, down 13 percent from the same period last year. That marks Apple’s first year-over-year revenue decline since 2003, after an incredible growth period that started at less than $2 billion in quarterly revenue.

And Apple says its decline will continue, at least for now: The company forecast June quarter sales between $41 billion and $43 billion. At the midpoint, that represents a 15 percent year-over-year sales decline. And it’s worse than Wall Street was expecting: Consensus had been around $47 billion. Shares are down about 7 percent in after-hours trading.

Why the weakness? You can mainly credit the iPhone, which represents almost two-thirds of Apple’s business. iPhone revenue fell 18 percent year over year on 51 million shipments. And demand in China, which has driven much of Apple’s growth over the past few years, also fell, with sales down 26 percent year over year.

Currency fluctuations also hurt. On the company’s earnings call, CEO Tim Cook said sales would have only declined 9 percent year over year in constant currency.

Three bright spots: Apple’s services business, which includes things like the iTunes store and Apple Music, which grew sales 20 percent during the quarter; the “Other Products” segment, which includes the Apple Watch and Apple TV, and grew 30 percent year over year; and Japan, which grew 24 percent.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
