In terms of product categories, iPhone is down 8% year-over-year. Mac revenue fell to $7.74 billion from $10.85 billion in the same quarter last year. iPad sales increased 30%, while wearables, home goods and accessories declined 8% year-over-year.

"This is a "major milestone" for the company, Apple CEO Tim Cook said during an earnings call. However, the company did not provide specific numbers for individual devices.
Analyzing the financial results, CFO Luca Maestri said revenue was down 5% year-over-year, primarily due to lack of iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max shipments.
