As Tim mentioned the strength of our results was very broad based, as we set new revenue records for iPhone, for Services, for Mac, and for Apple Watch.
正如蒂姆所說,我們的業績基礎非常廣泛,因為我們為 iPhone、服務、Mac 和 Apple Watch 創造了新的收入記錄。
We also established new all-time revenue records in most developed and emerging markets, with strong growth rates in many countries, including the US, Japan, Canada, France, Australia, Brazil, India, Turkey, and Russia.

儘管由於美元持續走強,外匯環境非常具有挑戰性,我們還是完成了這一切。
As we had expected, our year-over-year performance in Greater China improved significantly relative to the September quarter.
正如我們所預期的那樣,我們在大中華區的同比表現相對於 9 月季度有了顯著改善。

First, this year we grew channel inventory significantly less than a year ago.

On one hand, the 14th week added to Services revenue this December quarter.

我們本季度的有效稅率為 26%,符合預期,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 $51.5 billion and $53.5 billion.
我們預計收入將在 515 億美元至 535 億美元之間。
This guidance range includes a $1.2 billion year-over-year headwind from foreign exchange.
這一指導範圍包括來自外彙的 12 億美元的同比逆風。
We expect gross margin to be between 38% and 39%.
我們預計毛利率將在 38% 至 39% 之間。
This guidance range includes an 80 basis point sequential headwind from foreign exchange.
該指導範圍包括來自外彙的 80 個基點的連續逆風。
We expect OpEx to be between $6.5 billion and $6.6 billion.
我們預計運營支出將在 65 億美元至 66 億美元之間。
We expect OI&E to be about $400 million, and we expect the tax rate to be about 26%.

Yes, thank you.
是的,謝謝。
First, Luca, what are the factors that caused you to widen the gross margin guidance for the March quarter, and what are the one or two factors that put you at the low end versus the tailwinds that might put you at the high end of that range?
首先,盧卡,是什麼因素導致你擴大了 3 月季度的毛利率指導,是什麼一兩個因素讓你處於低端,而順風可能讓你處於高端範圍?
Then I have a follow-up, thank you.
那我有後續了,謝謝。
Luca Maestri - CFO
Luca Maestri - CFO
Sure, Katy, well if you look back at our history, 100 basis points range for gross margin is not unusual.
當然,凱蒂,如果你回顧我們的歷史,100 個基點的毛利率範圍並不罕見。
Clearly during a period when foreign exchange is very volatile we think it's more prudent to broaden the range, to broaden the range a bit.
顯然,在外匯非常波動的時期,我們認為擴大範圍更為謹慎,稍微擴大範圍。
I've mentioned that we expect, assuming that rates don't move too much, we expect foreign exchange to be a major negative as we move from the December to the March quarter.
我已經提到,我們預計,假設利率不會變動太多,我們預計外匯將是一個主要的負面因素,因為我們從 12 月到 3 月季度。
You know that the dollar appreciated significantly towards the end of the December quarter, and so we got 80 basis points of sequential headwind from foreign exchange.
你知道美元在 12 月季度末大幅升值,因此我們從外匯中獲得了 80 個基點的連續逆風。
We also have the sequential loss of leverage which is typical of our seasonality, but we expect to offset these two impacts with cost efficiencies and also with our mix of products and services.
我們也有槓桿的連續損失,這是我們季節性的典型特徵,但我們希望通過成本效率以及我們的產品和服務組合來抵消這兩種影響。
So obviously if the dollar is a little less strong than it is today, we could do a bit better on gross margins.
所以很明顯,如果美元比現在弱一點,我們可以在毛利率上做得更好。
Obviously we continue to work very hard on our cost efficiency, so we'll see where we land.
顯然,我們將繼續努力提高成本效率,所以我們會看到我們的目標。

And Tim, there's a reasonable probability that you may get access to the $200 billion plus of cash that's been locked overseas.
還有蒂姆,你很有可能獲得被鎖定在海外的超過 2000 億美元的現金。
So I think it would be helpful to just get an update on your views around potentially larger M&A and some of the areas of interest that you've noted in the past, like owning more original content to penetrate more of the TV opportunity that the company has long talked about addressing.
因此,我認為更新您對潛在更大併購的看法以及您過去注意到的一些感興趣領域的看法會很有幫助,例如擁有更多原創內容以利用該公司更多的電視機會長期以來一直在談論尋址。
Thank you.
謝謝你。

Yes, Katy, I am optimistic given what I'm hearing that there would likely be some sort of tax reform this year, and it does seem like there's people in both parties that would favor a repatriation as a part of that.
是的,凱蒂,我很樂觀,因為我聽說今年可能會進行某種稅收改革,而且似乎雙方都有人讚成將遣返作為其中的一部分。
So I think that's very good for the country and good for Apple.
所以我認為這對國家非常有利,對蘋果也有好處。
What we would do with it, let's wait and see exactly what it is, but as I've said before we are always looking at acquisitions.
我們會用它做什麼,讓我們拭目以待,看看它到底是什麼,但正如我之前所說,我們一直在關注收購。
We acquired 15-20 companies per year for the last four years, and we look for companies of all sizes, and there's not a size that we would not do based on just the size of it.
在過去的四年裡,我們每年收購 15-20 家公司,我們尋找各種規模的公司,沒有一個規模是我們不會僅僅基於它的規模來做的。
It's more about the strategic value of it.
更多的是關於它的戰略價值。
In terms of original content, we put our toe in the water, we have put our toe in the water with doing some original content for Apple Music, and that will be rolling out through the year.
在原創內容方面,我們將腳趾放在水中,我們已經將腳趾放在水中,為 Apple Music 製作了一些原創內容,並將在全年推出。
We are learning from that and we'll go from there.
我們正在從中學習,我們將從那裡開始。
The way that we participate in the sort of the changes that are going on in the media industry that I fully expect to accelerate from sort of the cable bundle beginning to break down is one, we started the new Apple TV a year ago, and we're pleased with how that platform has come along.
我們參與媒體行業正在發生的那種變化的方式是,我完全期望從有線捆綁開始分解的那種加速是一種方式,我們在一年前推出了新的 Apple TV,我們'對該平台的發展方式感到滿意。
We had more things planned for but it's come a long way in a year and it gives us a clear platform to build off of.
我們計劃了更多的事情,但它在一年中取得了長足的進步,它為我們提供了一個清晰的平台來構建。
Two, embedded in the 150 million paid subscriptions that I mentioned in my opening comments, there are a number of third party services that are a part of that where we participate economically in some of that by offering our platform and selling and distributing.
第二,嵌入在我在開場評論中提到的 1.5 億付費訂閱中,有許多第三方服務是我們通過提供我們的平台以及銷售和分發經濟地參與其中的一部分。
And then thirdly, we are obviously with our toe in the water we're learning a lot about the original content business and thinking about ways that we could play in that.
第三,我們顯然是在涉足水里,我們正在學習很多關於原創內容業務的知識,並思考我們可以在其中發揮作用的方式。

Thanks a lot, good afternoon, guys.
非常感謝,大家下午好。
First question, really appreciate the information you guys are providing around your Services business which was up 18% year-over-year.
第一個問題,非常感謝你們提供的有關服務業務的信息,同比增長 18%。
Could you just talk about how much of that do you think is growth in your install base versus increased monetization on a per iOS [device] spaces?
您能否談談您認為安裝基數的增長與每個 iOS [設備] 空間的貨幣化增加有多大關係?
It's weird to think about those in two separate terms.
用兩個不同的術語來考慮這些是很奇怪的。
Luca Maestri - CFO
Luca Maestri - CFO
I think you're absolutely right, Amit.
我認為你是絕對正確的,阿米特。
We look at it, those are the two key elements for us.
我們看著它,這對我們來說是兩個關鍵要素。
And what is particularly interesting to us is to see that the number of people that are transacting on our stores is increasing strong double digits, and we're also seeing that the ARPU per paying customer is increasing double digits, right?
對我們來說特別有趣的是看到在我們商店進行交易的人數正在以兩位數的速度增長,我們還看到每位付費客戶的 ARPU 也在以兩位數的速度增長,對吧?
So it's a combination of the two, obviously the quality and the quantity of content that we make available in our Services improves all the time.
所以這是兩者的結合,顯然我們在服務中提供的內容的質量和數量一直在提高。
And we also see that as people getting to the platform and start transacting on the platform, and we keep track of their behavior over time, we actually see that they tend to spend more and more over time.
我們還看到,隨著人們進入平台並開始在平台上進行交易,並且隨著時間的推移我們會跟踪他們的行為,我們實際上看到他們隨著時間的推移會花費越來越多的錢。
And that's why we are excited about the future of the Services business and that's why as Tim said, we have a goal that it's already become a very large business.
這就是為什麼我們對服務業務的未來感到興奮,這就是為什麼正如蒂姆所說,我們的目標是它已經成為一個非常大的業務。
It's going to be a Fortune 100 company this year, but we have a goal to double it over the next four years.
今年它將成為財富 100 強公司,但我們的目標是在未來四年內將其翻一番。

There's been a fair amount of discussions around your market share in China and what's happening over there.
關於你們在中國的市場份額以及那裡正在發生的事情,已經進行了大量的討論。
Your numbers actually look fairly impressive in Greater China, China specifically.
在大中華區,尤其是中國,您的數字實際上看起來相當可觀。
So could you talk about what are the demand trends you're seeing there on the ground, and how do you see that transpire through the year?
那麼,您能否談談您在當地看到的需求趨勢是什麼?您如何看待這一年的變化?
Tim Cook - CEO
Tim Cook - CEO
I'll take this one.
我要這個。
If you look at how we did in the quarter, as I think Luca shared, our Greater China revenue was down 12% and about four points of that was currency related.
如果你看看我們在本季度的表現,正如我認為盧卡所分享的那樣,我們的大中華區收入下降了 12%,其中約 4 個百分點與貨幣有關。
So it's an eight-point decline in constant currency.
因此,固定匯率下跌了 8 個百分點。
And then within Greater China if you look at the PRC, our revenue was flat year-over-year, and that was against the all-time record quarter.
然後在大中華區,如果你看看中國,我們的收入與去年同期持平,這與歷史最高的季度相比。
And if you look at that on a constant currency basis it was actually up six.
如果你以固定貨幣計算,它實際上上漲了六倍。
So it's a significantly better performance on sort of every way you look at it, versus what we had experienced the prior three quarters.
因此,與我們前三個季度的經歷相比,它在各種方面的表現都要好得多。
Underneath that, what we've seen is that iPhone 7 was the best selling smartphone in China during the quarter, according to Kantar.
Kantar 表示,在此之下,我們看到 iPhone 7 是本季度中國最暢銷的智能手機。
Singles Day which is a huge day in China as you know, we were the most popular US brand on Alibaba.
如您所知,光棍節在中國是一個重要的日子,我們是阿里巴巴上最受歡迎的美國品牌。
We set a new record for Services in China as the company did.
我們和公司一樣在中國創造了服務的新紀錄。
And Mac revenue was up double digit year-over-year.
Mac 收入同比增長兩位數。
iPad units were also up double digit in Mainland China which was obviously different than the trend that we saw in the balance of the world.
iPad 在中國大陸的銷量也出現了兩位數的增長,這與我們在世界平衡中看到的趨勢明顯不同。
We also saw 50% of our iPhone sales in China were to switchers and first time buyers, which is a very high number that we're pleased with.
我們還看到,我們在中國的 iPhone 銷售額中有 50% 是面向轉換用戶和首次購買者的,這是一個非常高的數字,我們對此感到滿意。
And then obviously our total install base continues to grow there in the strong double digits.
然後顯然我們的總安裝基數繼續以強勁的兩位數增長。
That said, the challenges that are there, one, the currency has devalued 6% year-over-year, and two, Hong Kong remains a very, very difficult market.
也就是說,存在的挑戰,第一,貨幣同比貶值 6%,第二,香港仍然是一個非常非常困難的市場。
And so I look at it and I'm encouraged with the significant improvement, but we're not without challenges there and I wouldn't want to imply that, although I do like many, many things that I've seen and how broad-based the pluses were across our product line.
所以我看著它,我對顯著的改進感到鼓舞,但我們並非沒有挑戰,我不想暗示這一點,儘管我確實喜歡我見過的很多很多東西,以及它的廣泛性-基於我們的產品線的優勢。

Thank you very much for taking my question.
非常感謝您提出我的問題。
Can you talk a bit more about the Services business?
您能多談談服務業務嗎?
And what I'm trying to figure out is I think the number was you're going to be doubling within the next four years, or at least that's your expectation.
我想弄清楚的是,我認為這個數字是你將在未來四年內翻一番,或者至少這是你的預期。
So what gets you there?
那麼是什麼讓你到達那裡?
Maybe if you talk about geographies and how penetrated you are in certain geographies?
也許如果您談論地理以及您在某些地理中的滲透程度如何?
And then as you grow your Services business, is there anything we should keep in mind from a margin perspective?
然後,隨著您的服務業務的發展,從利潤率的角度來看,我們應該牢記什麼?
Would these be lower-margin services or similar, just so we can think about the trajectory and the contribution to bottom line?
這些是利潤率較低的服務還是類似的服務,以便我們可以考慮軌跡和對底線的貢獻?
Luca Maestri - CFO
Luca Maestri - CFO
Yes, Shannon, I'll take it.
是的,香農,我會接受的。
Obviously within the Services business we have a number of categories.
顯然,在服務業務中,我們有許多類別。
The App Store is the one that is driving significant growth right now.
App Store 是目前推動顯著增長的一個。
I said in my opening comments that we grew 43%, 13 weeks, over 13 weeks we grew own more for the quarter, right?
我在開場評論中說,我們增長了 43%,13 週,超過 13 週,我們在本季度增長了更多,對吧?
And what we like about the App Store is that it's truly a global platform, so we are seeing significant growth not only in the developed markets where you expect to see a lot of transaction volume, but we see great growth in places like China for example.
我們喜歡 App Store 的地方在於它是一個真正的全球平台,因此我們不僅在您期望看到大量交易量的發達市場看到顯著增長,而且在中國等地也看到了巨大增長.
And we know that there are parts of the world where we can do better.
我們知道世界上有些地方我們可以做得更好。
We can grow, for example, our developer community in a number of emerging markets.
例如,我們可以在一些新興市場發展我們的開發者社區。
And so as we look, as I was explaining earlier, as we look at the number of people that transact growing double digits, we see the amount spent per paid account growing so well, we think that the App Store is going to be a significant driver of growth.
正如我之前解釋的那樣,當我們看到交易人數增長兩位數時,我們看到每個付費賬戶的支出增長如此之快,我們認為 App Store 將成為一個重要的增長的驅動力。
On the music front, we are the market leader in digital music and obviously now by having the combination of the download business with the streaming service, which we didn't have until recently, we've been able to bring our music business back to growth, we've grown over the last three quarters, and we feel very good about that.
在音樂方面,我們是數字音樂的市場領導者,顯然現在通過將下載業務與流媒體服務相結合,我們直到最近才擁有,我們已經能夠將我們的音樂業務帶回增長,我們在過去三個季度都在增長,我們對此感覺非常好。
Tim has talked about original content.
蒂姆談到了原創內容。
We've had very good success with exclusives, so we know that it's another business that we can grow.
我們在獨家經營方面取得了非常好的成功,因此我們知道這是我們可以發展的另一項業務。
Our iCloud storage business is growing very quickly, and so that is a business that also at the geographic level we can continue to grow significantly.
我們的 iCloud 存儲業務增長非常迅速,因此在地理層面上我們也可以繼續顯著增長。
Our AppleCare business is growing very well.
我們的 AppleCare 業務發展良好。
A lot of it comes from the fact that our install base of devices around the world continues to grow very well, from double digits and as we've explained in the past, the vast majority of the service that we provide is not driven by what we sell during the last 90 days.
其中很大一部分原因是我們在世界各地的設備安裝基數繼續以兩位數的速度增長得非常好,正如我們過去所解釋的那樣,我們提供的絕大多數服務並不是由什麼驅動的我們在過去 90 天內出售。
It's much more driven by the install base and that gives us a tail wind.
它更多地是由安裝基礎驅動的,這給我們帶來了順風。
We're also opening up several new markets because we're accepting new forms of payment and therefore it's easier for, particularly for international customers to take advantage of our services.
我們還開闢了幾個新市場,因為我們正在接受新的支付方式,因此更容易,特別是國際客戶可以利用我們的服務。
You were asking about the margin profile.
你問的是保證金概況。
We said it many times, in aggregate, our Services business tends to have margins that are above company averages.
我們多次說過,總的來說,我們的服務業務的利潤率往往高於公司平均水平。
They are accretive so they help us quite a bit from a margin standpoint.
它們是增值的,所以從利潤的角度來看,它們對我們有很大幫助。
Within the Services business, we have very different margin profiles also because as you know we account for some of these services in different ways.
在服務業務中,我們的保證金狀況也大不相同,因為如您所知,我們以不同的方式解釋其中一些服務。
In some cases we transact on a buy-sell basis, in other cases we perform as agents, for example, to our developers, right?
在某些情況下,我們以買賣為基礎進行交易,在其他情況下,我們作為代理人,例如對我們的開發商,對吧?
And that drives different margin percentages.
這推動了不同的利潤率百分比。
Shannon Cross - Analyst
Shannon Cross - Analyst
Thank you.
謝謝你。
And then my follow-up is in terms of elasticity of demand and some of the moves from a currency perspective.
然後我的後續行動是關於需求彈性和從貨幣角度來看的一些變動。
I think in the past there was some concern in some of the emerging markets that you were basically not able to -- you weren't getting the volumes because you had to raise ASPs given currency, but you talked a lot about the emerging markets actually doing pretty well this quarter.
我認為過去在一些新興市場存在一些你基本上無法做到的擔憂——你沒有得到交易量,因為你必須提高 ASP 給定貨幣,但你實際上談論了很多新興市場本季度表現不錯。
So I'm just curious, you raised the price on the iPhone 7 Plus, and what are you seeing and what are your customers saying in terms of willingness to pay up?
所以我很好奇,你提高了 iPhone 7 Plus 的價格,你看到了什麼,你的客戶對支付意願有什麼看法?
Luca Maestri - CFO
Luca Maestri - CFO
Well Shannon, I was looking back since June of 2014, so we're talking about two and a half years ago, the dollar has strengthened 25% against the basket of currencies where we do business.
香農,我從 2014 年 6 月開始回顧,所以我們談論的是兩年半前,美元兌我們開展業務的一攬子貨幣上漲了 25%。
And so obviously it is a difficult situation for us.
顯然,這對我們來說是一個困難的局面。
I mentioned that foreign exchange is a significant headwind for us, both at the revenue level and at the gross margin level.
我提到外匯對我們來說是一個重大的逆風,無論是在收入層面還是在毛利率層面。
In emerging markets, it's incredible.
在新興市場,這是不可思議的。
The level of interest for our products continues to be phenomenal.
對我們產品的關注程度仍然非常驚人。
The brand continues to be very aspirational.
該品牌仍然非常有抱負。
There's more and more people that can afford our products around the world.
世界各地有越來越多的人買得起我們的產品。
The middle class is growing in places like China, India, Brazil, but certainly strong dollar doesn't help us and therefore when we make pricing decisions, we need to be very careful.
中國、印度、巴西等地的中產階級正在增長,但強勢美元肯定對我們沒有幫助,因此當我們做出定價決策時,我們需要非常小心。
We always want to find the optimal balance between units, revenue, and margin, and it becomes more difficult as the dollar appreciates.
我們總是希望在單位、收入和利潤率之間找到最佳平衡,而隨著美元升值,這變得更加困難。

Yes, Luca, I'm wondering if you could talk a little bit about gross margins.
是的,盧卡,我想知道你能否談談毛利率。
Sales obviously beat the high end of your revenue range, it looks like gross margins was dead down the middle.
銷售額顯然超過了您收入範圍的高端,看起來毛利率在中間已經死了。
Can you talk about the puts and takes in gross margins in the quarter please?
你能談談本季度的看跌期權和毛利率嗎?
Luca Maestri - CFO
Luca Maestri - CFO
Sure.
當然。
We were actually at the high end of the range for gross margins.
我們實際上處於毛利率範圍的高端。
We had guided 38 to 38.5, and we came in at 38.5 exactly.
我們已經引導 38 到 38.5,我們正好在 38.5 進入。
And really, the slight improvement over the mid point of the guidance range was due to the fact that our revenue was ahead of our expectations.
實際上,比指導範圍中點略有改善是由於我們的收入超出了我們的預期。
And so we got a bit more leverage out of the increased revenue levels.
因此,我們從增加的收入水平中獲得了更多的影響力。
We feel very good about the gross margins for the quarter.
我們對本季度的毛利率感到非常滿意。
Again keep in mind the strong dollar that doesn't help us on that front.

Tim Cook - CEO

That's a really good question.

Despite the demonetization move in India that created lots of economic pressure there last quarter, despite that, we had all-time record revenue results.
儘管印度的非貨幣化舉措在上個季度造成了巨大的經濟壓力,儘管如此,我們仍取得了創紀錄的收入結果。
And so we were very happy about that.
所以我們對此感到非常高興。
The demonetization impact has not worked its way through yet.
去貨幣化的影響尚未發揮作用。
It's still definitely having some overhang, but I think in the longer term it's a great move and I feel really good about how we're doing there.
它仍然肯定有一些懸而未決,但我認為從長遠來看這是一個很好的舉措,我對我們在那裡的表現感覺非常好。
We are in discussions on a number of things including retail stores, and fully intend to invest significantly in the country and believe it's a great place to be.
我們正在討論包括零售店在內的許多事情,並完全打算在該國進行大量投資,並相信這是一個很棒的地方。

I wanted to dig in a little bit more into the iPhone upside in the quarter, with record revenues in every region except for Greater China.
我想在本季度進一步挖掘 iPhone 的優勢,除大中華區外,每個地區的收入都創紀錄。
I think it touched on the percent of switchers in China, but can you give a little more color on the split of upgrades and switchers in some of the other regions, and overall as well?
我認為它觸及了中國切換台的百分比,但你能否就其他一些地區的升級和切換台的劃分提供更多的顏色,以及整體情況?
Tim Cook - CEO
Tim Cook - CEO
Yes, Simona, it's Tim.
是的,西蒙娜,是蒂姆。
We did have an exceptional quarter with iPhone, and that was with the back drop of not predicting the demand very well in the iPhone 7 Plus and therefore being in constraint on it through the quarter.
我們確實在 iPhone 上度過了一個特殊的季度,這是因為未能很好地預測 iPhone 7 Plus 的需求,因此整個季度都受到限制。
If you look at the absolute number of upgraders, it was the highest that we've seen in any quarter.
如果您查看升級者的絕對數量,這是我們在任何季度看到的最高數量。
And if you look at the switcher number, it's the highest that we've seen in any quarter.
如果您查看切換台數量,它是我們在任何季度中看到的最高數量。
If you look at the upgrade rate, it's similar to last year.
如果你看升級率,它與去年相似。
However, I think the big asterisk, and I share all this with you for transparency's sake, but I would tell you that the way we look at this is, in a quarter where you have a supply constraint, it's difficult to draw too many conclusions from it, but I wanted to share that with you anyway so you have the back drop.
但是,我認為是大星號,為了透明起見,我與你分享所有這些,但我會告訴你,我們看待這個的方式是,在你有供應限制的季度,很難得出太多結論從中,但無論如何我想與你分享,所以你有背景。

隨著今年你的比賽變得更容易,我很好奇你是否認為你會在那個地區恢復增長?
And then just to give us the context I know you talked about the 6% constant currency increase in revenue in Mainland China, but curious if you strip out the double digit increase in iPad and MacBook and potentially the mix shift to the 7 Plus, curious what underlying iPhone units did in Mainland China?
然後只是為了給我們提供背景信息,我知道你談到了中國大陸 6% 的固定貨幣收入增長,但很好奇你是否排除了 iPad 和 MacBook 的兩位數增長以及可能向 7 Plus 的混合轉變,很好奇底層 iPhone 設備在中國大陸做了哪些工作?

如果您查看 7 Plus,它是我們曾經擁有的最受歡迎的 Plus 型號。
It set a unit record, so that I can share.
它創造了一個單位記錄,讓我可以分享。
In terms of how are we going to do, we don't provide guidance at the segment level, but sitting here today for Q2 I wouldn't expect the year-over-year performance to be dramatically different than the year-over-year performance in Q1.
就我們將如何做而言,我們不會在細分市場層面提供指導,但今天坐在這裡的第二季度,我不認為同比表現與同比有顯著差異第一季度的表現。
The real comp really begins in the following quarter to a more significant degree, and we'll have to see how that plays out as we get closer to it.
真正的比賽真正開始於下個季度,而且在很大程度上,我們將不得不看看隨著我們越來越接近它會如何發揮作用。

I just wanted to better understand the upgrade rate dynamics.
我只是想更好地了解升級率動態。
So I think iPhone units on a sell-through basis were up about 8%.
因此,我認為 iPhone 銷量增長了約 8%。
You had an extra week which gave you about 8%.
你有一個額外的一周,給了你大約 8%。
I understand there were differences of the timing of the launch.
我了解發佈時間存在差異。
So making all those adjustments it looks like iPhone units were probably up low single digits.
因此,在進行所有這些調整後,iPhone 的銷量可能會出現低個位數。
But Luca, you alluded to the fact your install base is growing double digits.
但是盧卡,你提到你的安裝基數正在增長兩位數。
So that would suggest to me that the upgrade rate, the upgrade percentage is actually declining.
所以這對我來說意味著升級率,升級百分比實際上正在下降。
And more specifically, I'd just like your broader perspective on how investors should think about upgrade rates.
更具體地說,我希望您能更廣泛地了解投資者應該如何考慮升級率。
It looked like they peaked in the iPhone 6 cycle, and it looks like they've been extending, going lower, replacement cycles have been extending over the last couple of years.
看起來它們在 iPhone 6 週期中達到了頂峰,而且看起來它們一直在延長,降低,更換週期在過去幾年中一直在延長。
I think some of the US carriers alluded to that as well.
我認為一些美國航空公司也提到了這一點。
So I'm wondering if you could step back and just talk a little bit more broadly about how investors should think about -- or what the trajectory's been over the last two years, and how investors should think going forward?
所以我想知道你是否可以退後一步,更廣泛地談談投資者應該如何思考——或者過去兩年的軌跡是什麼,以及投資者應該如何思考未來?
Do you believe there are opportunities for that upgrade rate to improve, or replacement cycles to accelerate going forward?
您是否認為升級率有機會提高,或者更換週期會加快?
And what are some of the considerations we should think about?
我們應該考慮哪些因素?
Luca Maestri - CFO
Luca Maestri - CFO
Well it's a good question.
嗯,這是一個很好的問題。
A number of points that I want to make, starting with the growth in the install base of iPhones.
我想說幾點,從 iPhone 安裝基數的增長開始。
Yes, it's growing strong double digits and that's very good for us for a number of reasons, including the fact that it's a big driver for our Services business.
是的,它正在以兩位數的速度增長,這對我們來說非常有利,原因有很多,包括它是我們服務業務的一大推動力。
When we look at it geographically, I think we see different developments.
當我們從地理上看時,我認為我們看到了不同的發展。
For example, we felt very, very good about the unit growth that we had in many markets around the world.
例如,我們對全球許多市場的單位增長感到非常非常好。
You've been quoting an overall total company growth rate, but when we look at it on a country specific level, there were a lot of countries, I would say the majority of the countries, where iPhone units grew strong double digits, starting here in the United States where, for example, the fact that annual upgrade programs are becoming more and more popular is proving to be a positive for us.
您一直在引用公司的總體增長率,但是當我們從特定國家/地區來看時,有很多國家,我會說大多數國家,iPhone 銷量增長強勁兩位數,從這裡開始例如,在美國,年度升級計劃越來越受歡迎這一事實證明對我們來說是積極的。
Same happened in a number of countries around the world starting with Canada and Australia, but also many places in Western Europe as well.
從加拿大和澳大利亞開始,世界上許多國家也發生了同樣的情況,西歐的許多地方也發生了同樣的情況。
Japan grew double digits in terms of units.
日本在單位方面增長了兩位數。
So I think geographically, we are seeing very, very good performance, and the point that I think I need to make when you think about upgrade rates, clearly this issue of the strong dollar doesn't help us.
所以我認為從地理上看,我們看到了非常非常好的表現,當你考慮升級率時,我認為我需要指出的一點是,很明顯,美元走強這個問題對我們沒有幫助。
Could we sell significantly more or significantly faster from an upgrade cycle standpoint in places outside the United States where we've had, we've been forced to increase prices by up to 20%, 30%, 40% in certain countries?
從升級週期的角度來看,我們能否在美國以外的地方銷售更多或更快的產品,在某些國家,我們被迫將價格提高多達 20%、30%、40%?
When you think about the impact that this is having on local demand, obviously, that doesn't help us.
當您考慮這對當地需求的影響時,顯然,這對我們沒有幫助。
But overall, I would say as Tim said, when we look at the upgrade rate for -- and we look at it from the standpoint of the new phones, the new generation of phones, the upgrade rate, the percentage of people that have upgraded to the new phone has been very similar to what we've seen last year.
但總的來說,正如蒂姆所說,當我們查看升級率時,我們會從新手機、新一代手機、升級率、已升級用戶的百分比來看新手機與我們去年看到的非常相似。
The 6 cycle was certainly a phenomenal cycle.
6 週期當然是一個現象級的周期。
There was pent-up demand for the larger screen phones.
對大屏幕手機的需求被壓抑。
And certainly as we look ahead, we have a role to play.
當然,當我們展望未來時,我們可以發揮作用。
The more we're able to innovate with new generations of products, clearly that plays a role in the upgrade rate.
我們對新一代產品的創新能力越強,顯然這對升級速度有影響。

Okay, thank you.
好的謝謝你。
Tim, I have a question for you.
蒂姆,我有一個問題要問你。
Back in April 2012, you said on one of these earnings calls that, I've always hated litigation and I continue to hate it, and I highly prefer to settle versus battle.
早在 2012 年 4 月,您在其中一次財報電話會議上說,我一直討厭訴訟,而且我仍然討厭它,而且我非常喜歡和解而不是戰鬥。
Yet you recently decided to initiate a lawsuit against Qualcomm.
然而,您最近決定對高通提起訴訟。
I'm wondering if you can comment on the ostensible change or departure from this viewpoint, and what would be a successful end result of this litigation, and whether you can confirm whether there's any potential gross margin risk in the future as a result of this litigation?
我想知道您是否可以評論表面上的變化或偏離這一觀點,以及該訴訟的成功最終結果是什麼,以及您是否可以確認未來是否存在任何潛在的毛利率風險訴訟?
Tim Cook - CEO
Tim Cook - CEO
I feel the same way I did in April of 2012.
我的感覺和我在 2012 年 4 月所做的一樣。
I don't like litigation and view it as a last resort.
我不喜歡訴訟並將其視為最後的手段。
And so you should take from our filing that we viewed it as we didn't see another way forward.
因此,您應該從我們的文件中了解到,我們認為它是因為我們沒有看到其他前進方式。
They were insisting on charging royalties for technologies that they had nothing to do with.
他們堅持對與他們無關的技術收取版稅。
And so we were in a situation where the more we innovated with unique features like Touch ID or advanced displays or cameras, just to name a few, the more money Qualcomm would collect for no reason, and the more expensive it would be therefore for us to innovate.
因此,我們處於這樣一種情況,即我們對 Touch ID 或高級顯示器或攝像頭等獨特功能進行的創新越多,僅舉幾例,高通就會無緣無故地收取更多的錢,因此對我們來說就越貴去創新。
And so it's somewhat like buying a sofa, and you charge somebody a different price depending upon the price of the house that it goes into.
所以這有點像買一張沙發,你根據它進入的房子的價格向某人收取不同的價格。
From our point of view, this doesn't make sense and we don't believe it will pass muster in the courts.
從我們的角度來看,這沒有意義,我們不相信它會在法庭上通過。
In addition to that, as a part of their increasingly radical steps they were taking to try to hold up that model, they withheld a billion dollars in payments that they owed us.
除此之外,作為他們為試圖維持這種模式而採取的越來越激進的步驟的一部分,他們扣留了他們欠我們的 10 億美元的款項。
And so we felt like we had no choice was the net of it.
所以我們覺得我們別無選擇是它的網。
In terms of where it goes, we'll see.
至於它的去向,我們拭目以待。
I don't like litigation and so if there's another way, then that would be great.
我不喜歡訴訟,所以如果有其他方式,那就太好了。
But at this point, I don't see it.
但在這一點上,我看不到它。
I fully expect at this point in time that it will take some time, but in the end, I think common sense will prevail and the courts will see it for what it is.
我完全預計此時這將需要一些時間,但最終,我認為常識將佔上風,法院將看到它的本質。
And so that's the way I see it.
這就是我的看法。
Thanks for your question.

First I wanted to ask about the iPad.
首先我想問一下iPad。
It looked like it was about to turn possibly even positive, and you said it was above your plan, but I think it was pretty well below the street's expectations.
看起來它即將轉為積極,你說這超出了你的計劃,但我認為它遠低於街道的預期。
And the ASP deteriorated pretty significantly, I don't know if it's a mix shift.
而且平均售價大幅下降,我不知道這是否是混合轉變。
But maybe you can talk about the iPad and what you see going forward?
但也許你可以談談 iPad 以及你對未來的看法?
Tim Cook - CEO
Tim Cook - CEO
The iPad, Steve, we had a 1.6 million unit swing on channel inventory between the years.
iPad,史蒂夫,這些年來我們的渠道庫存波動了 160 萬台。
In the year ago quarter, we increased by 900.
在去年同期,我們增加了 900 個。
In this quarter we decreased by 700.
在本季度,我們減少了 700 個。
On top of that, and from an ASP point of view, in the year ago quarter we launched the iPad Pro 13 Edge.
最重要的是,從 ASP 的角度來看,去年這個季度我們推出了 iPad Pro 13 Edge。
That would be the iPad with obviously the highest price on it.
那將是顯然價格最高的 iPad。
We would have done the channel fill plus the launch of the product, and so that would have bolstered the ASPs in that particular quarter.
我們將完成渠道填充和產品發布,這樣就可以提高該特定季度的 ASP。
In addition to all of that, we did under call the number of iPads that would be in demand for the quarter, and that compounded a shortage issue that we had with one of our suppliers.
除此之外,我們確實低估了本季度需要的 iPad 數量,這加劇了我們與供應商之一的短缺問題。
And so all in all, there was quite a few things going on there.
總而言之,那裡發生了很多事情。
If I sort of zoom out of the 90 day clock and look at it, we've got some exciting things coming on iPad.
如果我把 90 天的時鐘拉遠一點,看看它,我們會在 iPad 上看到一些令人興奮的東西。
I still feel very optimistic about where we can take the product.
我仍然對我們可以將產品帶到哪裡感到非常樂觀。
When we look at the number of people buying iPads for the first time, which is a good thing to look at from a point of view of whether things are reaching penetration point or not, the numbers indicate that it's not close to that kind of thing.
當我們看第一次購買iPad的人數時,從事物是否達到滲透點的角度來看這是一件好事,數字表明它並不接近那種事情.
The customer sat numbers are through the roof.
客戶坐的數字是通過屋頂。
Literally the customer sat for the iPad Pro is 99%.
從字面上看,iPad Pro 的客戶佔 99%。
It's stunning.
這是驚人的。
And so I see a lot of good things and hope for better results, but we are still currently in this shortage issue now, and I'm not projecting to get out of that totally during the quarter.
因此,我看到了很多好事,並希望取得更好的結果,但我們目前仍處於短缺問題中,我不打算在本季度完全擺脫這一問題。
And so it will damper this quarter somewhat.
因此,這將在一定程度上抑製本季度。
But again, beyond the 90 day clock, I'm very bullish on iPad.
但同樣,在 90 天之後,我非常看好 iPad。

And then, Tim, investors tend to think of the iPhone as mature and technology improvement is incremental, yet I believe you think there's plenty of runway left in terms of appealing new features.
然後,蒂姆,投資者傾向於認為 iPhone 已經成熟,技術改進是漸進式的,但我相信你認為在吸引人的新功能方面還有很多空間。
Do you think there are future enhancements coming that will be viewed by material by users, and particularly changes beyond foreign factor, beyond the way the phone looks?
你認為未來會有哪些增強功能會被用戶看到,尤其是超越外來因素、超越手機外觀的變化?
Are there functional things coming over time that you think could surprise people?
您認為隨著時間的推移會出現哪些功能性的東西會讓人們大吃一驚?

I think the smartphone is still in the early innings of the game.
我認為智能手機仍處於遊戲的早期階段。
I think there's lots more to do.
我認為還有很多事情要做。
I think its become -- every year it becomes more important to people's lives, and there's more things people are doing with it.
我認為它變得 - 每年它對人們的生活變得更加重要,人們正在用它做更多的事情。
I talked a little bit about home automation, but I could have talked about health, I could have talked more about CarPlay, the use of it in the enterprise is growing significantly.
我談了一點家庭自動化,但我本可以談健康,我本可以談更多 CarPlay,它在企業中的使用正在顯著增長。
And so when I look at all of these things, usage going up, app developers still innovating, we've got some exciting things in the pipeline, I feel really, really good about it.
因此,當我看到所有這些事情時,使用率在上升,應用程序開發人員仍在創新,我們有一些令人興奮的事情正在籌備中,我對此感覺非常非常好。
So this is one -- we think different about a bunch of things, so maybe this is just one more.
所以這是一個——我們對一堆事情的看法不同,所以也許這只是一個。
