This has resulted in cumulative retirement of 56.5 million shares and represents 6% of the total shares outstanding prior to the launch of the repurchase program.
這導致 5650 萬股累計退市,佔回購計劃啟動前已發行股份總數的 6%。
Our Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $3.05 per common share, payable on February 13, 2014, to the shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 10, 2014.
我們的董事會已宣布派發每股普通股 3.05 美元的股息,於 2014 年 2 月 13 日支付給截至 2014 年 2 月 10 日營業結束時登記在冊的股東。
Now, as we move ahead into the March quarter, I'd like to review our outlook which includes the types of forward-looking information that Nancy referred to at the beginning of the call.
現在,隨著我們進入第三季度,我想回顧一下我們的前景,其中包括南希在電話會議開始時提到的前瞻性信息類型。
We expect revenue to be between $42 billion and $44 billion, compared to $43.6 billion in the year-ago quarter.
我們預計收入將在 420 億美元至 440 億美元之間,而去年同期為 436 億美元。
We expect gross margin to be between 37% and 38%, reflecting approximately $110 million related to stock-based compensation expense.
我們預計毛利率將在 37% 至 38% 之間,反映出與股票薪酬費用相關的約 1.1 億美元。
We expect OpEx to be between $4.3 billion and $4.4 billion, including about $590 million related to stock-based compensation.
我們預計運營支出將在 43 億美元至 44 億美元之間,其中包括與股票薪酬相關的約 5.9 億美元。
We are continuing to invest heavily in R&D, in both current revenue generating categories as well as future products and services.
我們將繼續大力投資於研發,包括當前的創收類別以及未來的產品和服務。
We expect OI&E to be about $200 million and we expect the tax rate to be about 26.2%.
我們預計 OI&E 約為 2 億美元,我們預計稅率約為 26.2%。
In closing, we are very pleased with our record iPhone and iPad sales, the strong performance of our Mac products, and the growth of iTunes software and services revenue.
最後,我們對我們創紀錄的 iPhone 和 iPad 銷量、Mac 產品的強勁表現以及 iTunes 軟件和服務收入的增長感到非常滿意。
We are thrilled to have the most satisfied, loyal and engaged customers in our industry, and we are constantly working to make the user experience even better for them.
我們很高興擁有業內最滿意、忠誠和參與度最高的客戶,我們一直在努力為他們提供更好的用戶體驗。
We are continuing to invest heavily in our future and remain very confident in our new product pipeline.
我們將繼續對我們的未來進行大量投資,並對我們的新產品線充滿信心。
With that, I'd like to open the call to questions.
有了這個,我想打開問題電話。

Peter, revenue guidance embeds a sequential decline that's bigger than what you experienced in the March 2013 quarter, and I think implies iPhone units may not grow in the March quarter year-on-year.
彼得,收入指引包含比您在 2013 年 3 月季度經歷的更大的連續下降,我認為這意味著 iPhone 銷量可能不會在 3 月季度同比增長。
So can you just talk about what's driving the cautious view on the top line for March?
那麼,您能否談談是什麼推動了對 3 月份營收的謹慎看法?
- CFO
- CFO
Sure.
當然。
Katie, the biggest reason for the larger sequential decline in revenue this year relates to changes in channel inventory between the years.
凱蒂表示,今年收入環比下降幅度較大的最大原因與年份間渠道庫存的變化有關。
And I'll go through some detail, but let me actually do it on a year-over-year basis.
我將詳細介紹一些細節,但讓我實際逐年進行。
I'd like to go through some things about the guidance and I think you'll see that the underlying performance of our business is stronger than what the guidance might imply.
我想通過一些關於指導的事情,我想你會看到我們業務的基本表現比指導可能暗示的要強。
We expect four factors to negatively impact the year-over-year revenue comparison by over $2 billion.
我們預計有四個因素會對同比收入比較產生超過 20 億美元的負面影響。
These are channel inventory increases in the year ago quarter that we don't expect to repeat, lower iPod sales, a stronger US dollar against a number of currencies, particularly the yen and the Australian dollar, and the higher per unit deferral for Mac and iOS devices that I talk about in my prepared remarks.
這些是我們預計不會重複的去年同期渠道庫存增加、iPod 銷量下降、美元兌多種貨幣(尤其是日元和澳元)走強,以及 Mac 和我在準備好的評論中談到的 iOS 設備。
Let me go through these a little more.
讓我再看一遍。
First beginning with channel inventory.
首先從渠道庫存開始。
In the March quarter last year we increased channel inventory for both iPhone and iPad, whereas this year we increased the channel inventory for both product families in the December quarter, and we exited within our target range of channel inventory.
去年 3 月季度,我們增加了 iPhone 和 iPad 的渠道庫存,而今年我們在 12 月季度增加了這兩個產品系列的渠道庫存,並且我們退出了我們的目標渠道庫存範圍。
For iPhone, specifically last year, the supply of iPhone 5 was short for the entire December quarter and we were not able to achieve supply and demand balance for iPhone 5 until the March quarter.
對於 iPhone,特別是去年,整個 12 月季度 iPhone 5 的供應短缺,直到 3 月季度我們才能實現 iPhone 5 的供需平衡。
As a result we increased the iPhone inventory last year by about 1.1 million units.
因此,我們去年將 iPhone 庫存增加了約 110 萬部。
In contrast, this year we executed the fastest rollout for our new iPhones and we included China in wave one in the launch in September and we were able to exit the quarter in supply and demand balance.
相比之下,今年我們的新 iPhone 推出速度最快,我們在 9 月推出的第一波中包括了中國,我們能夠在供需平衡的情況下退出本季度。
For iPad, we introduced the Mini in the December quarter last year and we were not able to meet demand in any week of the quarter.
對於 iPad,我們在去年 12 月的那個季度推出了 Mini,但在該季度的任何一周我們都無法滿足需求。
We didn't reach supply and demand balance for the iPad Mini until the March quarter last year and we increased inventory in the March quarter by 1.4 million units.
直到去年 3 月季度,我們才達到 iPad Mini 的供需平衡,我們在 3 月季度增加了 140 萬台的庫存。
In contrast, this year we exited the December quarter near supply and demand dot balance.
相比之下,今年我們退出了接近供需點平衡的 12 月季度。
So looking past the inventory changes year-to-year we expect the value of the underlying sell through to grow year-over-year.
因此,回顧庫存的逐年變化,我們預計基礎銷售的價值將逐年增長。
And we are very confident in what we are shipping.
我們對我們正在運送的東西非常有信心。
Turning to iPods, sales declined by 52% year-over-year in the December quarter and we would expect them to continue to decline year-over-year in the March quarter.
談到 iPod,12 月季度的銷售額同比下降了 52%,我們預計它們在 3 月季度將繼續同比下降。
And FX is a headwind for us with the strengthening dollars against a number of currency.
外匯對我們來說是一個逆風,因為美元兌多種貨幣走強。
So when you consider these factors, we are very pleased with the underlying performance of the business and the revenue growth is stronger than what the guidance might imply.
因此,當您考慮這些因素時,我們對業務的基本表現感到非常滿意,並且收入增長比指導可能暗示的要強。
- Analyst

Okay, and Peter you are guiding OpEx flattish sequentially despite the big revenue down tick.
好的,儘管收入大幅下降,但彼得您正在引導運營支出按順序持平。
Are there any one-time items in SG&A and R&D in the March quarter or is the run rate reflective of investments for future opportunities?
三月季度的 SG&A 和 R&D 中是否有一次性項目,或者運行率是否反映了對未來機會的投資?
- CFO

It's definitely the latter and let me have Luca take you through some details.

Hi Katie.
嗨,凱蒂。
So yes, at the midpoint of the range of our guidance we are expecting a minor decrease of $50 million.
所以是的,在我們指導範圍的中點,我們預計會小幅減少 5000 萬美元。
This is largely due to the lower variable expenses that we are going to have in line with the seasonal sequential decline in revenue.
這主要是由於我們將隨著收入的季節性連續下降而降低可變費用。
But one thing that Peter are ready mentioned in his remarks is that we continue to invest very heavily in R&D.
但彼得在他的講話中已經準備好提到的一件事是,我們繼續在研發上投入巨資。
We are making investments in areas that are visible to all of you today, but also in areas that are not visible which we're very excited about.
我們正在對今天你們所有人都能看到的領域進行投資,但也在我們非常興奮的不可見領域進行投資。
And for the things that are not visible to you, obviously we're investing ahead of the revenue that these products and services will generate in the future.
對於您看不到的東西,顯然我們在這些產品和服務將在未來產生的收入之前進行投資。
So there is nothing that is one off in nature in our guidance.
因此,在我們的指導中,本質上沒有什麼是獨一無二的。

The ramp of China Mobile would presumably act as a tailwind to the March quarter, yet that's not apparent in the numbers.
中國移動的增長可能會成為第三季度的順風車,但這在數字上並不明顯。
Can you comment on how you're thinking about demand trends for China Mobile and perhaps how it compares to prior large carrier ramp?

- CFO

Sure.
當然。
Bill, this is Peter.
比爾,這是彼得。
Let me start and Tim may want to add some comments.
讓我開始吧,Tim 可能想添加一些評論。
We're thrilled to be working with China Mobile, and DoCoMo also, we had a great lunch with both carriers.
我們很高興能與中國移動和 DoCoMo 合作,我們與兩家運營商共進了一頓豐盛的午餐。
DoCoMo in the December quarter, and China Mobile just in the last couple of weeks.
DoCoMo 在 12 月季度,而中國移動僅在最後幾週。
These carrier additions will have a positive impact on our iPhone sales year-over-year.
這些運營商的增加將對我們的 iPhone 銷量同比產生積極影響。
China Mobile's 4G service is only available in 16 cities today.
中國移動的 4G 服務目前僅在 16 個城市開放。
They plan to complete the rollout of more than 500,000 4G base stations, which will cover more than 340 cities by year-end.
他們計劃完成超過50萬個4G基站的部署,到年底將覆蓋340多個城市。
With the addition of DoCoMo last quarter we were able to achieve 69% smartphone market share in Japan, which we're thrilled with.
隨著上季度 DoCoMo 的加入,我們能夠在日本取得 69% 的智能手機市場份額,對此我們感到非常興奮。
However the benefit of these two carrier additions this quarter is being partially offset by a couple things.
然而,本季度這兩個運營商增加的好處被一些事情部分抵消了。
First of all, the comparison last year from our late launch of the iPhone 5 and the new iPads in mainland China, achieving supply and demand balance for the Mini and the iMac in the March quarter, and the impact of currencies, particularly the yen.
首先,從我們去年在中國大陸推出 iPhone 5 和新款 iPad 到 3 季度 Mini 和 iMac 實現供需平衡的對比,以及貨幣特別是日元的影響。
And we're also deferring more revenue on the iOS devices and Mac.
我們還推遲了 iOS 設備和 Mac 的更多收入。
To summarize we are very pleased with what we're seeing from both carriers.
總而言之,我們對兩家運營商的表現感到非常滿意。
We expect to continue to do well, but we've got some things that are offsetting it that we factored into the guidance.
我們希望繼續表現良好,但我們有一些東西可以抵消我們在指導中考慮的因素。
- CEO

And Bill, this is Tim.
還有比爾,這是蒂姆。
I would add as a further update, we've been selling with China Mobile now for about a week and last week was the best week for activations we've ever had in China.
作為進一步的更新,我想補充一點,我們已經與中國移動合作了大約一周,上周是我們在中國進行過激活的最佳一周。
So it's been an incredible start.
所以這是一個不可思議的開始。
And at this moment we're just selling in 16 cities with China Mobile.
目前,我們僅在中國移動的 16 個城市進行銷售。
As Peter alluded to this number is projected to be at over 300 cities by the end of the year.
正如彼得所暗示的那樣,這個數字預計到今年年底將覆蓋 300 多個城市。
And so we've got quite the ramp in front of us and we're incredibly excited.
所以我們面前有相當大的坡道,我們非常興奮。
This comes after a new high water mark in China for us last quarter.
這是繼上個季度我們在中國創下新高之後。
We grew revenues including our retail stores at 31%.
我們包括零售店在內的收入增長了 31%。
And we had some very strong sales on iPad, iPads in greater China were up 64% year-over-year, Macs were up 28%.
我們在 iPad 上的銷售非常強勁,大中華區的 iPad 同比增長 64%,Mac 增長 28%。
This compares to a tablet market in China that's growing at 21% per IDC, and a PC market that is contracting by 7%.
相比之下,中國的平板電腦市場每個 IDC 的增長率為 21%,而個人電腦市場的增長率為 7%。
And so in addition to the great iPhone news with China Mobile and how we are looking there, we really turned in a stellar quarter in greater China overall and we are very proud of it.
因此,除了中國移動關於 iPhone 的好消息以及我們對那裡的看法之外,我們確實在大中華區整體上取得了出色的季度業績,我們為此感到非常自豪。

- CEO
- CEO
Well you can see that we've projected in the guidance gross margins between 37% and 38%.
好吧,您可以看到我們在指導毛利率中預計在 37% 到 38% 之間。
And that's despite going from a holiday quarter to a non-holiday quarter, which we lose quite a bit of leverage from in doing that.
儘管從假日季度到非假日季度,我們在這樣做時失去了相當多的影響力。
And so one of the primary things that's going on there is cost, so we're happy with how we are doing.
因此,發生的主要事情之一就是成本,所以我們對我們的工作方式感到滿意。

I have one for Tim and then a follow-up please.
我有一個給蒂姆,然後請跟進。
Tim, I wanted to just step back and talk a little bit about iPhone market share.
蒂姆,我想退後一步,談談 iPhone 的市場份額。
The market data isn't out for Q1, but if we look at your prior four quarters, fiscal 2013 Apple grew its iPhone units about 20%, the market grew in the 40%s.
第一季度的市場數據尚未公佈,但如果我們查看前四個季度,2013 財年蘋果的 iPhone 銷量增長了約 20%,市場增長了 40%。
I think this quarter, even with a new product and having China front loaded, Apple's -- the iPhone is going to grow at a fraction of ultimately what the market is likely to grow at.
我認為本季度,即使有了新產品並在中國市場前列,蘋果的 iPhone 的增長速度仍將是最終市場可能增長速度的一小部分。
And I know your belief and philosophy historically has been that you want to make the best product and that's the most important thing.
而且我知道你的信念和哲學在歷史上一直是你想製造最好的產品,這是最重要的。
But in Macs you've actually succeeded in making the best product and being able to gain share.
但是在 Mac 中,您實際上已經成功地製造出最好的產品並獲得了份額。
You've cited again how you've gained share in 30 out of the last 31 quarters in Mac.
您再次引用了 Mac 在過去 31 個季度中的 30 個季度中如何獲得份額。
But in iPhone that is not happening.
但在 iPhone 中,這並沒有發生。
And so my question, is what is different about the smartphone market that is not allowing you to hold or gain unit share despite apparently having the best product?
所以我的問題是,儘管顯然擁有最好的產品,但智能手機市場不允許你持有或獲得單位份額,這有什麼不同?
And do you propose to do anything differently going forward, because I think it's great to have an aspiration to make the best products but I think that's in the spirit of ultimately growing at least in line or faster than the market, and that doesn't appear to be happening.
你是否打算在未來做任何不同的事情,因為我認為有志於製造最好的產品是件好事,但我認為這是本著最終至少與市場同步或比市場增長更快的精神,而這並不似乎正在發生。
- CEO

Well Toni as I've said before, our objective has always been to make the best, not the most.
好吧,托尼,正如我之前所說,我們的目標一直是做到最好,而不是最好。
And we feel we are doing that.
我們覺得我們正在這樣做。
If you look at what we did this year we announced two iPhones for the first time rather than one.
如果你看看我們今年做了什麼,我們第一次發布了兩款 iPhone,而不是一款。
And looking at last quarter, if you looked at our sell throughs, so not sell in, but the sell through of what I'll just call our entry phone, or mid-phone and our top phone, or the 5S, all of those grew year-over-year versus the phones that were in those categories previously.
看看上個季度,如果您查看我們的銷售量,那麼不是銷售量,而是我稱之為入門手機、中端手機和頂級手機或 5S 的銷售量,所有這些與之前屬於這些類別的手機相比,同比增長。
If you look at the emerging markets which is one of the things that I believe is key that we have to grow in these areas and grow at reasonable amount, in Latin America we grew at 76% year-over-year.
如果你看看新興市場,我認為這是我們必須在這些領域增長並以合理數量增長的關鍵之一,在拉丁美洲,我們的年增長率為 76%。
In the Middle East and Africa we grew at 65%.
在中東和非洲,我們增長了 65%。
In Central and Eastern Europe we grew at 115%.
在中歐和東歐,我們增長了 115%。
In China we grew at 20%.
在中國,我們增長了 20%。
However, as you know, we just added China Mobile, the largest carrier there in this quarter and did not have a channel load in China Mobile last quarter.
但是,如您所知,我們剛剛加入了本季度最大的運營商中國移動,上個季度中國移動沒有渠道負載。
And so we just started selling those in January.
所以我們在一月份才開始銷售這些產品。
Also in Japan as we've added DoCoMo iPhone units were up 40%.
同樣在日本,由於我們添加了 DoCoMo,iPhone 銷量增長了 40%。
Now when you translate that performance into revenue in Japan we have the issue with the yen that Peter spoke about earlier.
現在,當您將這種表現轉化為日本的收入時,我們遇到了彼得之前談到的日元問題。
And so the revenue growth looks much less than that because of the strength of the dollar there.
因此,由於美元走強,收入增長看起來要低得多。
In North America we did not do as well and this weighed our results.
在北美,我們做得不太好,這影響了我們的結果。
Our North American business contracted somewhat year-over-year.
我們的北美業務同比有所收縮。
And if you look at the reason for this, one was that as we entered the quarter and forecasted our iPhone sales where we achieved what we thought we actually sold more iPhone 5S's than we projected.
如果你看看其中的原因,一個是當我們進入這個季度並預測我們的 iPhone 銷量時,我們實現了我們認為實際銷售的 iPhone 5S 比我們預期的更多。
So the mix was stronger to the 5S and it took us some amount of time in order to build the mix that customers were demanding.
因此,5S 的組合更強大,我們花了一些時間來構建客戶要求的組合。
And as a result we lost some sort of units for part of the quarter in North America, and relative to the world it took us the bulk of the quarter, almost all of the quarter to get into -- the iPhone 5S into proper supply.
結果,我們在北美季度的部分時間裡損失了一些單位,相對於世界,我們花了本季度的大部分時間,幾乎整個季度都進入了——iPhone 5S 的供應充足。
The other thing that happened in North America specifically was that some carriers changed their upgrade policies.
另一件特別發生在北美的事情是一些運營商改變了他們的升級政策。
And this effected last quarter and will have some effect on the current quarter.
這影響了上個季度,並將對當前季度產生一些影響。
This restricted customers who were used to upgrading earlier than the 24 months that they're allowed and sort of stretched the time out to be a hard and fast 24 months.
這限制了那些習慣於在允許的 24 個月之前升級的客戶,並且將時間延長到了艱難而快速的 24 個月。
And so that's a major factor playing into the North American results.
所以這是影響北美結果的一個主要因素。
So as I back up and sort of zoom out on this and look at it, one of the most important things for us in the iPhone business was to do really well in emerging markets and we had the best quarter ever from that respect.
因此,當我備份並縮小並查看它時,對我們來說,在 iPhone 業務中最重要的事情之一就是在新興市場做得非常好,我們在這方面取得了有史以來最好的季度。
Another was to grow in China because I think you can't be in the business that we're in and not have a reasonable China business.
另一個是在中國發展,因為我認為你不能從事我們所從事的業務並且沒有合理的中國業務。
And you can see how we did last quarter and we've now followed that up with a deal with China Mobile.
你可以看到我們上個季度的表現,我們現在已經與中國移動達成協議。
So I feel great about that.
所以我對此感覺很好。
I think part of what's happening in North America is a short-term effect because of these upgrade policy changes.
由於這些升級政策的變化,我認為北美正在發生的部分情況是短期影響。
This affects a period of time, three months to six months I would think.
這會影響一段時間,我認為是三個月到六個月。
And then it washes through.
然後它洗過。
So as I look at it, I feel very good about where we are.
所以當我看到它時,我對我們所處的位置感覺非常好。
And I would guess that the market numbers, that some of the stuff you been seeing will actually be decreased as the revisions come out, given what you're hearing what everyone is saying.
而且我猜市場數字,你看到的一些東西實際上會隨著修訂版的出現而減少,因為你聽到的每個人都在說什麼。

I'd like to follow that up, just on your comments on China.

You've characterized the agreement with China Mobile as huge.

Could you tell me what would define success for you in China Mobile one year and three years out?
您能否告訴我,您在中國移動一年和三年後的成功定義是什麼?
What ultimately should we be looking at to measure and ultimately determine whether this was huge?
我們最終應該關注什麼來衡量並最終確定這是否是巨大的?
- CEO

Well, I'm not going to give you a forecast for it.
好吧,我不會給你一個預測。
I think if you just backup and look at it from a commonsense point of view China Mobile has more subscribers that anyone in the world.
我認為如果你只是備份並從常識的角度來看它,中國移動的用戶比世界上任何人都多。
They had 0.75 billion.
他們有7.5億。
And so I do see it as a watershed moment for Apple and have a very strong belief in the abilities of the two companies to do great things together.
因此,我確實認為這是蘋果公司的一個分水嶺,並且非常相信兩家公司有能力一起做偉大的事情。

And when you do that, the numbers from last quarter and the deferral which we've just increased, as Peter went through, when you look at that and look at the numbers from last quarter it comes up to a double-digit growth.
當你這樣做時,上個季度的數字和我們剛剛增加的延期,正如彼得所經歷的那樣,當你查看那個並查看上個季度的數字時,它會出現兩位數的增長。
And we're proud of that.
我們為此感到自豪。
I think that's a pretty good result.
我認為這是一個相當不錯的結果。
We will see how we do in the March quarter.
我們將看到我們在三月季度的表現。
But I do think it's important in the March quarter to take into consideration sell through versus just a view of sell in.
但我確實認為在 3 月季度考慮賣出而不是僅僅考慮賣出是很重要的。

And do you -- I guess there's been a lot of things in the media about your potential to buy back more stock and your shares are around 500 tonight, I was wondering if you thought this was a good level and whether it was time to accelerate the buyback from current levels.
你呢——我猜媒體上有很多關於你有可能回購更多股票的消息,而你的股票今晚大約是 500 股,我想知道你是否認為這是一個很好的水平,是否是時候加速了從當前水平回購。
You obviously generated a ton of cash in the quarter and what your latest thoughts are there.
您顯然在本季度產生了大量現金以及您的最新想法。
- CEO

Well we've been buying back stock.
好吧,我們一直在回購股票。
As you know last year we increased the program overall our cash return, doubling it to $100 billion and $60 billion of that is buyback.
如您所知,去年我們增加了該計劃的整體現金回報,將其翻倍至 1000 億美元,其中 600 億美元是回購。
And we've been progressing on that.
我們一直在這方面取得進展。
Luca can give you the precise numbers of it.
盧卡可以給你它的精確數字。
So we are a big believer in buying back the stock, and that doesn't change today whether the stock goes up or down.
因此,我們非常相信回購股票,無論股票上漲還是下跌,這在今天都不會改變。

Yes, could you talk a bit more about the gross margin, you did provide an upside surprise to your guidance in the quarter.
是的,您能否多談談毛利率,您確實為本季度的指導提供了上行驚喜。
What were the factors?
有哪些因素?
And then looking forward Peter, what are some of the gives and takes for the March quarter?
然後期待彼得,三月季度的一些付出和收穫是什麼?
- VP and Corporate Controller
- VP and Corporate Controller
Steve let me answer that one.
史蒂夫讓我回答那個問題。
Let me start with the quarter.
讓我從這個季度開始。
So we were about the guidance range.
所以我們是關於指導範圍的。
It was primarily for two factors.
這主要是因為兩個因素。
We had favorable product mix and we had favorable commodity pricing.
我們有有利的產品組合和有利的商品定價。
And so those were the two things that actually helped us come in above the guidance range.
因此,這兩件事實際上幫助我們超出了指導範圍。
For the quarter, for Q2 we are guiding 37% to 38% compared to 37.9% in the December quarter.
對於本季度,對於第二季度,我們指導 37% 至 38%,而 12 月季度為 37.9%。
We're going to have some loos of leverage as you can imagine because of the usual seasonal decline in revenue.
正如你可以想像的那樣,由於收入通常會出現季節性下降,我們將失去一些槓桿作用。
But we expect that loss of leverage to be largely offset by cost improvements and also by less deferred revenue than were going to have in Q2.
但我們預計,槓桿的損失將在很大程度上被成本改善以及遞延收入比第二季度減少所抵消。
- Analyst

Okay thanks.

And then regarding the overall demand, one thing you did mention Tim is maturity of the particularly high-end smartphone market.
然後關於整體需求,你提到蒂姆的一件事是特別高端智能手機市場的成熟。
I know in our surveys we are finding relative to a year ago a lot of higher percentage of Apple buyers already have an Apple handset.
我知道,在我們的調查中,我們發現與一年前相比,已經擁有蘋果手機的蘋果買家比例更高。
So I'm curious if you think Western world can show decent unit growth over the next year or two?
所以我很好奇你是否認為西方世界可以在未來一兩年內顯示出可觀的單位增長?
And I was also wondering, the 5C generally is viewed as having, turned out to be pretty light in the mix.
而且我還想知道,5C 通常被認為是有的,結果證明它在混合中非常輕。
What are you going to do with that product going forward?
你打算如何處理該產品的未來?
- CEO
- CEO
I will sidestep the last question of course because it is about future products.
我當然會迴避最後一個問題,因為它是關於未來產品的。
But to your question about the 5S in particular, if I look at the sell through year-over-year there was growth in that portion of our line despite adding a new phone -- an entirely new phone underneath it.
但是對於你關於 5S 的問題,如果我看一下每年的銷售情況,儘管增加了一部新手機——在它下面是一部全新的手機,我們這部分產品線的銷量還是有所增長。
And so I think that's a good sign and that's despite it being in short supply for the bulk or virtually all of the quarter.
所以我認為這是一個好兆頭,儘管它在大部分或幾乎整個季度都供不應求。
And so I do believe that that category of product can grow in those markets if you are thinking about US and Western Europe for example and Japan.
因此,如果您考慮美國和西歐以及日本等市場,我確實相信這類產品可以在這些市場中增長。
In Japan we grew 40% last quarter.
在日本,我們上個季度增長了 40%。
That's fairly good.
這還算不錯。

Obviously the iPhone business grew about 7% year-over-year, we're at $200 million in annual unit sales now, and that is with two new devices being launched in the quarter.
顯然,iPhone 業務同比增長約 7%,我們現在的年銷售量為 2 億美元,而且本季度推出了兩款新設備。
Can you help us -- help us think about how you guys view the iPhone new user growth out there in the marketplace versus simply a solid replacement cycle that the company has in its install base?

Tim, for you, the first one to follow-up from Brian's question, you are growing iPhones about 7%, I think the market is going to end up looking up to be 14%.
蒂姆,對你來說,第一個跟進布賴恩問題的人,你的 iPhone 增長了大約 7%,我認為市場最終會上升到 14%。
Are you happy with the pricing umbrella that you currently have?
您對目前擁有的定價保護傘滿意嗎?
When you originally brought out iPhones in subsequent periods you talked about wanting to push some pricing umbrellas, but are you happy with the pricing umbrellas that you have?
當您最初在隨後的時期推出 iPhone 時,您談到想要推出一些定價保護傘,但您對現有的定價保護傘滿意嗎?
In particular, as you think about the 5C I think most of the industry views have panned the product as not being enough features for that price point.
特別是,當您想到 5C 時,我認為大多數行業觀點都認為該產品在該價位上沒有足夠的功能。
But if you could just talk about the positioning of your broader product portfolio and of iPhones, are you happy where you are?

I think most investors would conclude then December wasn't as good as it looked if you had increases in channel inventory.
我認為大多數投資者會得出結論,如果渠道庫存增加,那麼 12 月的表現並不像看起來那麼好。
So I was hoping you could peel off a little bit and talk about the foreign exchange impact and the higher deferrals?

It's clear that the enterprise area has huge potential and we are doing well from a percentage of companies that are using iPhone and iPad.
很明顯,企業領域具有巨大的潛力,我們在使用 iPhone 和 iPad 的公司中表現良好。

這取決於令人難以置信的數字。
The iPhone is used in 97% of the Fortune 500 and 91% of the Global 500 and iPad is used in 98% of the Fortune 500 and 93% of the Global 500.
97% 的財富 500 強企業和 91% 的全球 500 強企業使用 iPhone,iPad 被 98% 的財富 500 強企業和 93% 的全球 500 強企業使用。
We have a number of accounts, some which Peter reviewed in the opening remarks, that have tens of thousands of iOS devices working.
我們有許多帳戶,其中一些是 Peter 在開場白中評論的,它們有數以萬計的 iOS 設備在工作。

And 95% of total app activations were on iOS.

我認為這是衡量產品最終粘性的一個令人難以置信的衡量標準,因為你可以從 iPad 和 iPhone 中獲得如此多的生產力。
So I think the road in enterprise is a longer one.
所以我認為企業的道路是漫長的。
