Apple expects to sell a lot of new iPhones over the holidays, and customers were clearly waiting for a new generation of devices before opening their wallets. The company reported its fourth quarter earnings today, and iPhone sales were up just two percent. But the company is projecting a massive quarter to start 2018, forecasting upwards of $84 billion in sales.
The company brought in $52.6 billion in revenue for the quarter, with net income of $10.7 billion. Sales of Macs and iPads were both up by more than 10 percent from the same period last year, while iPhone sales were up only slightly. Luckily for Apple, revenue from its services and other products division both grew at more than 30 percent year over year, helping boost the company to a strong overall performance. The company’s sales expanded in every territory save for Japan.
