  • Building on the success of our Entrepreneur Camp program, which we began in 2019, this program gives this profoundly innovative community of developers the chance to develop next-level technical skills through hands-on technology labs, and with our partners at Harlem Capital, it also shares insights and mentorship on building and scaling an app business.

    展望未來,無論您是在經營企業還是只是希望在一年多後再次見到家人,此時此刻,人們很容易讓對 COVID-19 大流行結束的希望超過對我們仍然面臨的挑戰的清醒現實主義臉。

  • In many places around the world, new waves of infections driven by even more infectious variants of the virus are driving new lockdowns.

    在世界上許多地方,由更具傳染性的病毒變種引起的新一波感染正在推動新的封鎖。

    例如,通過 Apple Maps,我們現在展示了美國的疫苗站點位置,以我們在全球許多國家/地區的測試位置地圖為基礎。

  • It's worth remembering for much more than financial reasons or year-ago compares, just how we felt at this time last year when everything we knew had to change: Planes sat grounded, entire business districts were empty and silent; people left groceries or care packages sitting in the garage or in the hall overnight in recognition of all that we didn't know and therefore, had to imagine.

    值得記住的不僅僅是經濟原因或一年前的比較,還有去年這個時候我們的感受,當時我們所知道的一切都必須改變:飛機停飛,整個商業區空無一人;人們把雜貨或護理包留在車庫或大廳裡過夜,以承認我們不知道的一切,因此,不得不想像。

  • Thanks to researchers and scientists, doctors and nurses, everyone who can put a shot in an arm and even just check a name off a list, we have reached new days of hopeful resolve.

    感謝研究人員和科學家、醫生和護士,每個人都可以打一針,甚至只是從名單上核對一個名字,我們迎來了充滿希望的新日子。

  • Our work is not done, but as I said a year ago, while we can't say for sure how many chapters are in this book, we can have confidence that the ending will be a good one.

    我們的工作還沒有完成,但正如我一年前所說的,雖然我們不能確定這本書有多少章,但我們可以相信結局會是好的。

    現在讓我談談我們的現金狀況。

  • We ended the quarter with over $204 billion in cash plus marketable securities.

    我們在本季度結束時擁有超過 2040 億美元的現金和有價證券。

  • We issued $14 billion of new term debt and retired $3.5 billion of term debt, leaving us with total debt of almost $122 billion.

    我們發行了 140 億美元的新定期債務並償還了 35 億美元的定期債務,使我們的債務總額接近 1220 億美元。

  • As a result, net cash was $83 billion at the end of the quarter.

    因此,本季度末的淨現金為 830 億美元。

  • This strong position allows us to continue to invest confidently in our future, while also returning value to our shareholders.

    這一強勢地位使我們能夠繼續自信地投資於我們的未來,同時也為我們的股東回報價值。

  • We are innovating and investing at an unprecedented pace, including accelerating our investment in the United States with our new commitment to contribute more than $430 billion and 20,000 jobs to the country over the next 5 years.

    我們還將股息提高 7% 至每股 0.22 美元,我們將繼續計劃未來每年增加股息。

  • As we move ahead into the June quarter, I'd like to review our outlook, which includes the types of forward-looking information that Tejas referred to at the beginning of the call.

    隨著我們進入 6 月季度,我想回顧一下我們的展望,其中包括 Tejas 在電話會議開始時提到的前瞻性信息類型。

  • Given the continued uncertainty around the world in the near term, we are not providing revenue guidance, but we are sharing some directional insights assuming that the COVID-related impacts to our business do not worsen from what we are seeing today for the current quarter.

    鑑於近期全球範圍內持續存在不確定性,我們不提供收入指導,但我們分享一些定向見解,假設與 COVID 相關的對我們業務的影響不會比我們今天看到的當前季度更糟。

  • We expect our June quarter revenue to grow strong double digits year-over-year.

    我們預計我們 6 月的季度收入將同比強勁增長兩位數。

  • However, we believe that the sequential revenue decline from the March quarter to the June quarter will be greater than in prior years for 2 reasons.

    但是,我們認為從 3 月季度到 6 月季度的連續收入下降幅度將大於前幾年,原因有二。

  • First, keep in mind that due to the later launch timing and strong demand, iPhone only achieved supply-demand balance during the March quarter.

    首先,請記住,由於發佈時間較晚且需求強勁,iPhone 僅在 3 月季度實現了供需平衡。

  • This will cause a steeper sequential decline than usual.

    這將導致比平時更陡峭的連續下降。

  • Second, we believe supply constraints will have a revenue impact of $3 billion to $4 billion in the June quarter.

    其次,我們認為供應限制將對 6 月季度的收入產生 30 億至 40 億美元的影響。

  • We expect gross margin to be between 41.5% and 42.5%.

    我們預計毛利率在 41.5% 至 42.5% 之間。

    我們預計運營支出將在 111 億至 113 億美元之間。

  • We expect OI&E to be around $50 million and our tax rate to be around 14.5%.

    我們預計 OI&E 約為 5000 萬美元,我們的稅率約為 14.5%。

  • Finally, reflecting the approved 7% dividend increase I just mentioned, today, our Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.22 per share of common stock payable on May 13, 2021, to shareholders of record as of May 10, 2021.

    最後,為了反映我剛剛提到的 7% 的批准股息增長,今天,我們的董事會宣布了每股普通股 0.22 美元的現金股息,將於 2021 年 5 月 13 日支付給截至 2021 年 5 月 10 日在冊的股東。

    Shannon Siemsen Cross - Co-Founder, Principal & Analyst

  • Tim, I had sort of a big picture question on iPhone.

    蒂姆,我有一個關於 iPhone 的大問題。

  • I'm just curious, there are so many different things happening in this cycle, 5G, pandemic.

    我只是好奇,在這個週期中發生了很多不同的事情,5G,大流行。

  • How are you thinking about the opportunity for refreshing the installed base and attracting new customers.

    您如何看待刷新安裝基礎和吸引新客戶的機會。

  • And are you seeing lives shorten given some of the programs that are being put out there by the carriers and by yourself?

    考慮到運營商和您自己推出的一些程序,您是否看到生命縮短了?

  • Just kind of maybe big picture, if you can talk about what you're seeing in terms of iPhone out there in the market.

    如果你能談談你在市場上看到的 iPhone 方面的情況,也許只是大局。

  • Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

    Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

  • Sure, Shannon.

    當然,香農。

  • We saw double-digit increases on a year-over-year basis on both the new to iPhone and upgraders.

    我們看到 iPhone 新用戶和升級用戶的同比增長均呈兩位數增長。

  • So -- and in fact, in the March quarter, there was actually a record number of upgraders for a March quarter.

    所以 - 事實上,在 3 月份的季度,實際上有一個 3 月份季度的升級者數量創下紀錄。

  • And so we like what we see.

    所以我們喜歡我們所看到的。

  • It's obviously the early days of 5G.

    這顯然是 5G 的早期階段。

  • Different countries are in different points.

    不同的國家處於不同的位置。

  • But penetration is still -- on a global level, is still low at this point.

    但滲透率仍然 - 在全球範圍內,目前仍然很低。

  • And so a lot of the 5G upgrades will be in front of us, not behind us.

    因此,很多 5G 升級將在我們面前,而不是在我們身後。

  • You see in China, things have moved quickly to 5G.

    你看在中國,事情已經迅速發展到 5G。

  • They're moving quickly in the United States.

    他們在美國迅速行動。

  • But a lot of the other regions are slower to adopt and slower to gain coverage in 5G.

    但是許多其他地區的採用速度較慢,並且在 5G 中獲得覆蓋的速度較慢。

  • Shannon Siemsen Cross - Co-Founder, Principal & Analyst

    Shannon Siemsen Cross - Co-Founder, Principal & Analyst

  • Okay.

    好的。

  • And then, Luca, can you talk about gross margin?

    然後,盧卡,你能談談毛利率嗎?

  • I mean 42% is higher than it's been that I can kind of remember actually at this point.

    我的意思是 42% 比我現在能記得的要高。

  • So maybe if you talk about the drivers of gross margin.

    所以也許如果你談論毛利率的驅動因素。

  • And maybe if there were any offsets from higher component costs or the logistics costs that obviously were overshadowed by currency and other things.

    也許是否有任何抵消較高的組件成本或明顯被貨幣和其他因素所掩蓋的物流成本。

  • Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

    Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

  • Yes, Shannon.

    是的,香農。

  • Yes, we did 42.5% during March, and we've guided to similar, slightly lower levels for June.

    是的,我們 3 月份的收益率為 42.5%,我們已將 6 月份的水平引導至類似的略低水平。

  • So for March, we were up 270 basis points sequentially, really driven by 3 major factors.

    因此,在 3 月份,我們連續上漲了 270 個基點,這實際上是由 3 個主要因素驅動的。

  • Cost savings, which has been good for us during the cycle.

    節省成本,這在周期內對我們有好處。

  • A really strong mix, a strong mix on iPhone, but in general, across all product categories, and that obviously was helpful.

    一個非常強大的組合,在 iPhone 上的強大組合,但總的來說,在所有產品類別中,這顯然是有幫助的。

  • And foreign exchange sequentially, again, from December to March, was favorable 90 basis points.

    12 月至 3 月,外匯連續上漲 90 個基點。

  • So that helped as well.

    所以這也有幫助。

  • So those are the 3 major factors there.

    所以這些是那裡的 3 個主要因素。

  • As we transition into June, as you know, that we will expect some level of deleverage but that will be offset by cost savings.

    正如您所知,隨著我們過渡到 6 月,我們預計會出現一定程度的去槓桿化,但這將被成本節約所抵消。

  • Foreign exchange doesn't have much of an impact as we go from March to June.

    當我們從 3 月到 6 月時,外匯並沒有太大的影響。

  • We'll now take our next question from Amit Daryanani with Evercore.

    我們現在將通過 Evercore 回答 Amit Daryanani 提出的下一個問題。

  • Amit Jawaharlaz Daryanani - Senior MD & Fundamental Research Analyst

    Amit Jawaharlaz Daryanani - Senior MD & Fundamental Research Analyst

  • I have 2 as well.

    我也有2個。

  • First one, just on Services.

    第一個,僅在服務上。

  • I think 90 days ago, the expectation was that line item would decelerate a little bit into the March quarter.

    我認為 90 天前,預期訂單項會在 3 月季度減速一點。

  • It turned out it actually accelerated for us.

    事實證明,它實際上為我們加速了。

  • I'd like to just understand what do you think drove that acceleration specifically?

    我想了解一下您認為具體是什麼推動了這種加速?

  • And is mid-20% sort of the growth norm as we go forward for Services?

    隨著我們的服務向前發展,中等 20% 是增長標準嗎?

  • Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

    Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

  • So Amit, the -- our Services business did better than what we were expecting when we had the last call in January.

    所以阿米特,我們的服務業務比我們在一月份接到最後一次電話時的預期要好。

  • It was stronger across the board.

    它全面更強。

  • One of the things that we've noticed is that throughout COVID was that obviously digital services have done very well.

    我們注意到的一件事是,在整個 COVID 期間,顯然數字服務做得非常好。

  • And then we've had a couple of categories like Apple Care because many of the points of sale and stores were closed and advertising because of the reduced economic activity that were negatively affected during COVID.

    然後我們有幾個類別,例如 Apple Care,因為許多銷售點和商店都關閉了,並且由於在 COVID 期間受到負面影響的經濟活動減少而做廣告。

  • During the March quarter, we've seen a return to growth on Apple Care and obviously, we've reopened a lot of the stores during the course of the quarter.

    在 3 月季度,我們看到 Apple Care 恢復增長,很明顯,我們在本季度重新開設了許多商店。

  • And advertising, obviously, consumer sentiment has improved and advertising is coming back.

    廣告,顯然,消費者情緒有所改善,廣告正在捲土重來。

  • And so the combination of these factors really delivered this very, very strong performance during the March quarter.

    因此,這些因素的結合確實在 3 月季度實現了非常非常強勁的表現。

  • As we look ahead, as you know, we don't provide specific guidance for our product categories.

    展望未來,如您所知,我們不會為我們的產品類別提供具體指導。

  • But in general, I talked during our prepared remarks, I mean, there are a number of things that we always look at around the Services business, how many new paid accounts do we have, what number of new subscriptions do we get that -- above all, is our installed base continuing to grow?

    但總的來說,我在準備好的評論中談到,我的意思是,我們總是關注服務業務的許多事情,我們有多少新的付費賬戶,我們獲得了多少新訂閱——最重要的是,我們的安裝基礎是否繼續增長?

  • Are we adding new services?

    我們是否正在添加新服務?

  • Are we improving the quality of the existing services?

    我們是否在提高現有服務的質量?

  • And so when we look at all these fundamental vectors of our Services business, obviously, we feel very good.

    因此,當我們查看我們服務業務的所有這些基本向量時,顯然,我們感覺非常好。

  • We feel very good about it.

    我們對此感覺非常好。

  • Amit Jawaharlaz Daryanani - Senior MD & Fundamental Research Analyst

    Amit Jawaharlaz Daryanani - Senior MD & Fundamental Research Analyst

  • Got it.

    知道了。

  • That's helpful.

    這很有幫助。

  • And then, Tim, if I could follow up with you.

    然後,蒂姆,如果我可以跟進你。

  • It seems like engagement with iPhones and Apple devices generally has gone up materially over the last 12 months.

    在過去的 12 個月中,與 iPhone 和 Apple 設備的互動似乎普遍有了實質性的增長。

  • And I don't think replacement cycles, at least in the data we see, has shrunk or changed that much at the end of the day.

    而且我認為更換週期,至少在我們看到的數據中,在一天結束時並沒有縮小或改變那麼多。

  • I'm wondering, does that combination of increased usage, replacement cycles haven't changed, end up in iPhones potentially growing on a multiyear basis?

    我想知道,增加使用量、更換週期的組合是否沒有改變,最終 iPhone 可能會在多年的基礎上增長?

  • Because, usually, I would imagine if I'm using something more I have to replace it more often.

    因為,通常,我會想像如果我使用更多的東西,我必須更頻繁地更換它。

  • So I'd love your perspective on it.

    所以我很喜歡你對它的看法。

  • Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

    Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • We're clearly seeing strong performance in both the new to iPhone or the switcher component and upgraders, as I'd mentioned before.

    正如我之前提到的,我們清楚地看到 iPhone 的新產品或切換器組件和升級器的強勁表現。

  • And in fact, the upgrader was the best March quarter that we've ever had in -- and so that speaks to what you're seeing, I think, a lot.

    事實上,升級者是我們有史以來最好的三月季度 - 所以這說明了你所看到的,我認為,很多。

  • It's difficult with just this far into the cycle to make a statement about the cycle in general because keep in mind that we just launched midway through the Q1 period.

    在周期這麼遠的情況下,很難對周期做出一般性的陳述,因為請記住,我們剛剛在第一季度中期推出。

  • And so we've only been operating for 4.5 months or so.

    所以我們只運營了 4.5 個月左右。

  • But clearly, we like what we see right now a lot.

    但顯然,我們非常喜歡我們現在所看到的。

  • If you look at how the iPhone did around the world, we had the top 5 models of smartphone in the U.S., the top selling, the top 2 in urban China, 4 out of the top 5 in Japan, the top 4 in the U.K. and the top 6 in Australia.

    如果你看看 iPhone 在世界各地的表現,我們有美國前 5 名的智能手機,銷量最高,中國城市前 2 名,日本前 5 名中有 4 名,英國前 4 名和澳大利亞的前6名。

  • And so it was a sort of across the board in some really key countries, we did really, really well.

    所以在一些非常重要的國家,這是一種全面的做法,我們做得非常非常好。

  • I do think that the 5G cycle is important.

    我確實認為 5G 週期很重要。

  • And we're in the early days of it, frankly.

    坦率地說,我們還處於早期階段。

  • We'll take our next question from Katy Huberty from Morgan Stanley.

    我們將回答摩根士丹利的 Katy Huberty 提出的下一個問題。

  • Kathryn Lynn Huberty - MD and Research Analyst

    Kathryn Lynn Huberty - MD and Research Analyst

  • This was a pretty unbelievable quarter, and investors are going to ask about the sustainability of current demand trends, especially as you lap some of the benefits from COVID in areas like services and Mac later this year.

    這是一個非常令人難以置信的季度,投資者會詢問當前需求趨勢的可持續性,尤其是當你在今年晚些時候在服務和 Mac 等領域享受 COVID 帶來的一些好處時。

  • So I know you don't guide beyond -- or provide an outlook beyond the next quarter.

    所以我知道你不會指導——或提供下一季度之後的展望。

  • But can you talk from a high level over the next year, which segments do you see the opportunity to maintain strong revenue growth versus where is it reasonable to assume there will be some digestion as consumers shift their spending priorities?

    但是,您能否在明年從高層次談一談,您認為哪些細分市場有機會保持強勁的收入增長,而在消費者改變其支出重點時,哪些細分市場會出現一些消化?

  • And then I have a follow-up for Luca.

    然後我對 Luca 進行了跟進。

  • Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

    Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

  • If you sort of look at the different products, iPhone, I've already mentioned some of the great momentum that we had there.

    如果你看看不同的產品,iPhone,我已經提到了我們在那裡擁有的一些巨大動力。

  • Keep in mind that the compare that we're running to would be the quarter, the Q2 of last year is the quarter that China would have entered a shutdown first and then the rest of the world entered the shutdown in middle part of March.

    請記住,我們要進行的比較將是本季度,去年第二季度是中國首先進入停工狀態,然後世界其他地區在 3 月中旬進入停工狀態的季度。

  • And so part of the growth is compare -- is the comparison point.

    所以增長的一部分是比較——是比較點。

  • But that said, the results were fabulous across the board.

    但這就是說,結果是全面的。

  • The shortages that Luca spoke about in the color that he provided on the future, affect primarily the iPad and the Mac.

    Luca 以他提供的未來顏色談到的短缺主要影響 iPad 和 Mac。

  • And so we'll have some challenges in there, and challenges in meeting the demand that we've got.

    因此,我們將面臨一些挑戰,以及滿足我們現有需求的挑戰。

  • The demand feels very strong right now.

    現在感覺需求非常強勁。

  • Both on the Mac side, you have the combination of M1 and work from home and remote learning.

    無論是在 Mac 端,您都擁有 M1 與在家工作和遠程學習的結合。

  • And then iPad, you've got remote learning and work from home as well.

    然後是 iPad,您也可以在家遠程學習和工作。

  • And the product that we just announced is really killer, the iPad Pro with the M1 in it.

    而我們剛剛宣布的產品真的是殺手鐧,帶有 M1 的 iPad Pro。

  • And so there's a lot of great things of the strength of the product cycle in addition to the trends that we're seeing in the marketplace.

    因此,除了我們在市場上看到的趨勢之外,產品週期的強度還有很多很棒的事情。

  • And where this pandemic will end, it seems like many companies will be operating in a hybrid kind of mode.

    這場大流行將在何處結束,似乎許多公司將以混合模式運營。

  • And so it would seem that work from home and the productivity of working from home will remain very critical.

    因此,在家工作和在家工作的生產力似乎仍然非常重要。

  • If you look at Wearables then, the watch had a fabulous quarter.

    如果你看看當時的可穿戴設備,這款手錶的季度表現非常出色。

  • And I still think we're in the early innings on the watch.

    而且我仍然認為我們處於早期階段。

  • The number of new -- people that are new to the watch is almost 3 out of 4. And so this is a long way from being a mature market.

    新手錶的數量幾乎是四分之三的人。因此,距離成熟市場還有很長的路要走。

  • And so -- and then the Services by itself has really accelerated.

    所以 - 然後服務本身真的加速了。

  • And so all in all, we feel very, very good.

    總而言之,我們感覺非常非常好。

  • Kathryn Lynn Huberty - MD and Research Analyst

    Kathryn Lynn Huberty - MD and Research Analyst

  • And then, Luca, as I look at inventory plus vendor nontrade receivables, that grew only about 8% this quarter which is a big deceleration from last quarter.

    然後,盧卡,當我查看庫存加上供應商非貿易應收賬款時,本季度僅增長了約 8%,與上一季度相比大幅放緩。

  • Should we read into that as a leading indicator for how we should think about the revenue growth deceleration in the business as the world normalizes?

    我們是否應該將其解讀為我們應該如何考慮隨著世界正常化而導致業務收入增長減速的領先指標?

  • Or were there some supply disruptions during the quarter that caused you to drain inventory and create that tightness that you're talking about for June?

    或者本季度是否有一些供應中斷導致您耗盡庫存並造成您所說的 6 月份供應緊張?

  • Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

    Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

  • No.

    不。

  • On -- as you think about the June quarter, Katy, I would point you to what we said in our prepared remarks around the 2 factors that will influence our normal seasonality, right?

    關於——當你想到 6 月的季度時,凱蒂,我會向你指出我們在準備好的評論中所說的關於將影響我們正常季節性的兩個因素,對嗎?

  • One is the fact that iPhone -- we launched iPhone later than usual during this cycle.

    一個是 iPhone——我們在這個週期中比平時更晚推出 iPhone。

  • And so we reached supply-demand balance only during the March quarter, which makes obviously the sequential decline steeper than usual.

    因此,我們僅在 3 月季度才達到供需平衡,這顯然使環比下降幅度比平時更大。

  • And then this $3 billion or $4 billion of supply constraints that Tim just said, primarily on iPad and Mac.

    然後是蒂姆剛才所說的 30 億美元或 40 億美元的供應限制,主要是在 iPad 和 Mac 上。

  • So as you look at your model and you obviously can look at our numbers that we've done in the past, I think you can try to gauge that.

    因此,當您查看您的模型時,您顯然可以查看我們過去所做的數字,我認為您可以嘗試對其進行評估。

  • From a channel inventory standpoint, we did what we normally do during a March quarter.

    從渠道庫存的角度來看,我們做了我們通常在 3 月季度做的事情。

  • So we reduced inventory as it's typical on iPhone.

    因此,我們減少了庫存,這是 iPhone 上的典型做法。

  • We exited within our target range.

    我們在目標範圍內退出。

  • So I would say that on the inventory side, it was pretty straightforward.

    所以我會說在庫存方面,這非常簡單。

  • Obviously, given that the supply constraints are on the iPad and on the Mac, we wish we had more inventory of iPad and Mac.

    顯然,考慮到 iPad 和 Mac 的供應限制,我們希望 iPad 和 Mac 的庫存更多。

  • But this is all a function of high demand for all our products.

    但這一切都是對我們所有產品的高需求造成的。

  • We'll take our next question from Wamsi Mohan with Bank of America.

    我們將回答 Wamsi Mohan 與美國銀行的下一個問題。

  • Tim, your content offerings are still at very compelling price points.

    蒂姆,你的內容產品仍然處於非常有吸引力的價格點。

  • And you've seen other content providers, whether it be Spotify, Hulu, Netflix, all announced price increases recently.

    而且您已經看到其他內容提供商,無論是 Spotify、Hulu、Netflix,最近都宣布提價。

  • I'm just wondering how you're thinking about pricing as it pertains to your offering here?

    我只是想知道您如何考慮與您的產品相關的定價?

  • And if you could share any stats around the uptake of TV+ paid subs that would be great.

    如果您可以分享有關 TV+ 付費訂閱者使用情況的任何統計數據,那就太好了。

  • And I have a follow-up for Luca.

    我有盧卡的跟進。

  • Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

  • TV+ -- let me start with TV+.

    TV+——讓我從 TV+ 開始。

  • TV+ is going very well.

    TV+ 進展順利。

  • As you know, the objective and the philosophy that we've had on TV+ is to create high-quality original content and to be one of the most desired platforms for storytellers.

    如您所知,我們在 TV+ 上的目標和理念是創造高質量的原創內容,並成為講故事者最想要的平台之一。

  • And I see that happening day by day as we sign more shows and more storytellers including Malala as I had mentioned in my opening comments.

    正如我在開場評論中提到的那樣,隨著我們簽署更多節目和更多講故事的人,包括馬拉拉,我看到這種情況每天都在發生。

  • As my follow-up, Luca, on the June quarter guide, when you talk about the sequential decline being a little bit about perhaps the 13% or low-teens percent that we've seen historically, are the supply constraints of the $3 billion, $4 billion impact included in that?

    作為我的後續行動,盧卡,在 6 月的季度指南中,當你談到連續下降可能是我們歷史上看到的 13% 或 10% 以下的百分比時,是 30 億美元的供應限制, 40 億美元的影響包括在其中嗎?

  • Or is that in addition to sort of the more than average sequential decline that you're referring to?

    還是除了您所指的超過平均的連續下降之外?

  • And any color on what specifically is driving the supply constraints of the subcomponent level?

    以及具體驅動子組件級別供應限制的任何顏色?

  • Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

    Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

  • The -- yes.

    - 是的。

  • So when you look at our normal seasonality, and you've mentioned a percentage there that is really an average of several years, what we're saying is that we believe that the sequential decline this year is going to be higher than that.

    因此,當您查看我們的正常季節性時,您提到的百分比實際上是幾年的平均值,我們要說的是,我們認為今年的連續下降幅度將高於此。

  • And it's a combination of the 2 factors, right?

    這是兩個因素的結合,對吧?

  • One is the timing of the launch and then the very high demand for iPhone during the March quarter.

    一個是發佈時間,然後是 3 月季度對 iPhone 的高需求。

  • And the $3 billion to $4 billion supply constraints that we mentioned.

    以及我們提到的 30 億至 40 億美元的供應限制。

  • Yes, and the constraints come from the semiconductor shortages that are affecting many, many industries, and it's a combination of the shortages as well as the very, very high level of demand that we are seeing for both iPad and Mac.

    是的,限制來自影響許多行業的半導體短缺,這是短缺以及我們看到的 iPad 和 Mac 需求非常高的組合。

  • For Mac, for example, if you just -- just to keep it into context, the last 3 quarters of Mac have been the best 3 quarters ever in the history of the product, right?

    例如,對於 Mac,如果您只是為了保持上下文,Mac 的最後三個季度是產品歷史上最好的三個季度,對嗎?

  • So we are experiencing an incredible level of demand, which certainly is favored by working from home and learning from home environment, but also by the incredible amount of new products and innovation that we put into the products that we launched during the last couple of quarters.

    因此,我們正在經歷令人難以置信的需求水平,這當然受到在家工作和在家庭環境中學習的青睞,但也受到我們在過去幾個季度推出的產品中投入的大量新產品和創新的青睞.

    我想回到 iPhone。

  • As we think about the iPhone 12 cycle, appreciating that you guys don't give actual shipment numbers, it would appear though that the mix has been quite healthy.

    當我們考慮 iPhone 12 週期時,感謝你們沒有提供實際的出貨量,儘管這種組合看起來相當健康。

  • So I'm wondering if you could give us any context of what in this cycle you're seeing in terms of the mix relative to past cycles?

    所以我想知道您是否可以向我們介紹一下您在這個週期中看到的相對於過去週期的混合情況的任何背景?

  • Is that mix sustainable?

    這種組合可持續嗎?

  • I'm just trying to understand kind of the mix of -- within the iPhones and how that's driving, I guess, particularly gross margin.

    亞倫,讓我給你一點顏色。

  • The iPhone 12 of the -- the iPhone 12 family are or more broadly affect all iPhones, the iPhone 12 is the most popular.

    iPhone 12 中的——iPhone 12 系列或更廣泛地影響所有 iPhone,其中 iPhone 12 是最受歡迎的。

  • But we did see very strong sales of the Pro portion of the family as well, the Pro plus the Pro Max.

    但是我們確實看到該系列 Pro 部分的銷售也非常強勁,Pro 和 Pro Max。

  • And so the revenue that you're seeing is a function of unit growth and revenue -- revenue per unit growth.

    所以你看到的收入是單位增長和收入的函數 - 每單位增長的收入。

  • Does that help?

    這有幫助嗎?

  • Aaron Christopher Rakers - MD of IT Hardware & Networking Equipment and Senior Equity Analyst

    Aaron Christopher Rakers - MD of IT Hardware & Networking Equipment and Senior Equity Analyst

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • Can you give any context of how that might have changed this cycle relative to the prior cycles?

    您能否提供任何上下文,說明相對於之前的周期,這可能如何改變這個週期?

  • Have we seen kind of a structural change to the higher band of the product category that you believe can be sustained going forward?

    我們是否看到了您認為可以持續下去的產品類別的更高頻段的結構性變化?

  • Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

    Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

  • We don't predict going forward other than for our own internal use.

    除了我們自己的內部使用之外,我們不預測未來的發展。

    但我們對結果非常滿意。

  • Aaron Christopher Rakers - MD of IT Hardware & Networking Equipment and Senior Equity Analyst

    Aaron Christopher Rakers - MD of IT Hardware & Networking Equipment and Senior Equity Analyst

    好的。

  • And then as a quick follow-up back to the supply constraints.

    然後作為快速跟進回到供應限制。

  • I guess it's hard to kind of see again, looking forward beyond this quarter.

    我想很難再看到,期待本季度之後。

  • But what's your best assessment of when maybe the supply constraints could ease?

    但是,您對供應限制何時可以緩解的最佳評估是什麼?

  • Do you have any views of just the industry in general, overcoming some of the supply constraint dynamics?

    您是否對整個行業有任何看法,克服一些供應限制動態?

  • Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

  • Most of our issue is on legacy nodes.

    我們的大部分問題都在遺留節點上。

  • And so on legacy nodes, there are many different people, not only in the same industry, but across other industries that are using legacy nodes.

    等等遺留節點,有許多不同的人,不僅在同一行業,而且在使用遺留節點的其他行業中。

  • And so in order to really answer that question on -- accurately, we would need to know the true demand from each of these players and how that's going to change over the next few months.

    因此,為了真正回答這個問題 - 準確地說,我們需要知道每個參與者的真實需求以及未來幾個月這將如何變化。

  • And so it's very, very difficult to give you a good answer.

    所以很難給你一個好的答案。

  • I think we have a good handle on our demand.

    我認為我們很好地處理了我們的需求。

  • But what everybody else is doing, I don't know.

    還有關於半成品供應的問題。

  • You just beat by a substantial margin on the top line in the March quarter.

    您剛剛在 3 月季度的收入中大幅領先。

  • I'm curious what went in your favor to be able to secure that kind of supply that you were able to beat by, I think it was $11 million or so?

    我很好奇是什麼對你有利,才能確保你能夠擊敗的那種供應,我認為是 1100 萬美元左右?

  • And then I had a follow-up.

    然後我進行了跟進。

  • Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

    Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

  • We did not have a material supply shortage in Q2.

    我們在第二季度沒有材料供應短缺。

  • And so how were we able to do that?

    那麼我們是如何做到的呢?

  • You wind up collapsing all of your buffers and offsets.

    您最終會折疊所有緩衝區和偏移量。

  • And that happens all the way through the supply chain.

    這貫穿整個供應鏈。

  • And so that enables you to go a bit higher than what we were expecting to sell when we went into the quarter 90 days ago.

    因此,這使您能夠比我們在 90 天前進入該季度時的預期銷售高一點。

  • We're not even guiding to the top level at this point because of COVID.

    由於 COVID,我們此時甚至沒有指導到最高級別。

  • And so I'll sidestep that question.

    所以我會迴避這個問題。

  • But I would point to Luca's point earlier about the shortages and those shortages primarily affect iPad and Mac.

    但我要指出早先 Luca 關於短缺的觀點,而這些短缺主要影響 iPad 和 Mac。

  • So we expect to be supply gated, not demand gated.

    因此,我們希望受到供應門控,而不是需求門控。

  • The Greater China sales were very strong in the March quarter.

    大中華區的銷售在三月季度非常強勁。

  • Can you give some color on what drove this strength?

    你能解釋一下是什麼驅動了這種力量嗎?

  • Which hardware products or services enabled the solid outperformance in China?

    哪些硬件產品或服務在中國表現強勁?

  • And then I had a follow-up.

    然後我進行了跟進。

  • Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

    Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

  • We were very pleased with our performance in China.

    我們對我們在中國的表現感到非常滿意。

  • We set a March quarter revenue record and grew strong double digits across each of the product categories.

    我們創造了 3 月份季度收入記錄,並且在每個產品類別中都實現了兩位數的強勁增長。

  • And so the revenue growth was broad.

    因此收入增長是廣泛的。

  • We've been especially pleased by the customer response in China to the iPhone 12 family.

    我們對中國客戶對 iPhone 12 系列的反應感到特別高興。

  • And as I had mentioned earlier, you have to remember that China entered the shutdown phase earlier in Q2 of last year than other countries.

    正如我之前提到的,你必須記住,中國在去年第二季度比其他國家更早地進入關閉階段。

  • And so they were relatively more affected in that quarter, and that has to be taken into account as you look at the results.

    因此,他們在那個季度受到的影響相對更大,在查看結果時必須考慮到這一點。

  • As I mentioned earlier, we had the top 2 selling smartphones in urban China, so we're very proud of that.

    正如我之前提到的,我們擁有中國城市銷量排名前二的智能手機,因此我們為此感到非常自豪。

  • And iPad, Mac both had enormously positive quarters with great strength across the board.

    iPad 和 Mac 的季度業績都非常好,整體實力強勁。

  • And we're seeing a strong reception to the new iPad Pro as well that we just announced.

    我們也看到了我們剛剛發布的新款 iPad Pro 的強烈反響。

  • A lot of great comments.

    很多很棒的評論。

  • And about 2/3 of the people buying Mac and iPad were buying them for the first time.

    大約 2/3 的購買 Mac 和 iPad 的人是第一次購買。

  • And so we're attracting some new customers in China, which is really important to us.

    所以我們在中國吸引了一些新客戶,這對我們來說非常重要。

  • Krish Sankar - MD & Senior Research Analyst

    Krish Sankar - MD & Senior Research Analyst

  • All right.

    好的。

  • That was very helpful, Tim.

    這很有幫助,蒂姆。

  • And then maybe as a follow-up, I kind of have like a big picture philosophical question, and to the extent you can answer this.

    然後也許作為後續行動,我有點像一個宏觀的哲學問題,並且你可以回答這個問題。

  • One of the concerns many investors have is about the overhang of regulatory risk.

    許多投資者的擔憂之一是監管風險的過剩。

  • I understand it's very hard to handicap that.

    我知道很難阻止這一點。

  • But I'm kind of curious, do you think giving more public disclosure on your Services business like App Store would help alleviate some of those concerns?

    但我有點好奇,你認為像 App Store 那樣對你的服務業務進行更多公開披露會有助於緩解其中的一些擔憂嗎?

  • Or do you think that's revealing a lot of competitive details.

    或者你認為這揭示了很多競爭細節。

  • But kind of curious to know what you think on services disclosure.

    但是很想知道您對服務披露的看法。

  • Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

    Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

  • I think with the regulatory questions and scrutiny, we have to make sure that we're telling our story and why we do what we do, and we're very focused on doing that.

    我認為通過監管問題和審查,我們必須確保我們在講述我們的故事以及我們為什麼要做我們所做的事情,而且我們非常專注於這樣做。

  • If we feel that more disclosure would help, we would obviously move in that direction.

    如果我們覺得更多的披露會有所幫助,我們顯然會朝著這個方向前進。

  • The App Store and other parts of Apple are not cast in concrete.

    App Store 和 Apple 的其他部分不是用混凝土澆築的。

  • And so we can move and are flexible with the times.

    所以我們可以隨著時代的發展而靈活變通。

  • For example, in the App Store, as you know, just a couple of quarters ago, we lowered the commission rate for small developers to 15%.

    例如,在 App Store,正如你所知,就在幾個季度前,我們將小開發者的佣金率降低到 15%。

  • So that was an example of moving with the times, and we've gotten a great, great reception to that.

    所以這是一個與時俱進的例子,我們對此受到了極大的歡迎。

  • And so we continue to learn, and I think it's very important that we're very clear about why we do what we do.

    所以我們繼續學習,我認為我們非常清楚我們為什麼要做我們所做的事情是非常重要的。

  • The idea behind curating the App Store in order to get the privacy and security that our customers want, I think is very important, and we have to convey that in a very straightforward manner.

    為了獲得客戶想要的隱私和安全,策劃 App Store 背後的想法非常重要,我們必須以非常直接的方式傳達這一點。

  • Like stores in Michigan and stores in France and so forth.

    比如密歇根的商店和法國的商店等等。

  • And so I think it will take some amount of time, but my view would be as the stores get back up to speed, fully up to speed, we should be able to increase some of the accessory sales.

    所以我認為這需要一些時間,但我的觀點是隨著商店恢復速度,完全跟上速度,我們應該能夠增加一些配件的銷售。

  • Getting some questions from investors of how to think about the implication on the run rate of operating expenses for the company.

    從投資者那裡得到一些關於如何考慮對公司運營費用運行率的影響的問題。

  • If you remember, we announced back in 2018 that we were making a very sizable commitment to the United States.

    如果您還記得,我們早在 2018 年就宣布我們將對美國做出非常可觀的承諾。

  • We -- at the time we announced $350 billion of investment over the following 5 years.

    我們——當時我們宣佈在接下來的 5 年內投資 3500 億美元。

  • And during these 3 years, since then, we've overachieved on those commitments, and we felt it was the right time to update these type of investments.

    在這 3 年裡,從那時起,我們已經超額完成了這些承諾,我們認為現在是更新這些類型投資的合適時機。

  • And they span from, obviously, the investment that we made directly at Apple.

    很明顯,它們來自我們直接對 Apple 進行的投資。

  • For example, we talked about the creation of 20,000 new jobs at Apple over the next 5 years in the United States.

    例如,我們談到了未來 5 年內在美國蘋果公司創造 20,000 個新工作崗位。

  • And of course, our business has grown.

    當然,我們的業務也在增長。

  • And so our commitment, for example, to U.S. suppliers grows over time, and that shows in the higher numbers.

    因此,例如,我們對美國供應商的承諾會隨著時間的推移而增長,這體現在更高的數字上。

  • In the meantime, we've got into new businesses, for example, Apple TV+, a lot of the content that we developed for our TV service is produced here in the United States.

    與此同時,我們涉足了新業務,例如 Apple TV+,我們為電視服務開發的很多內容都是在美國這裡製作的。

  • And so that's additional investment here in the United States.

    這是在美國的額外投資。

  • From an OpEx standpoint, I think as you've seen this year, we're getting a lot of leverage.

    從運營支出的角度來看,我認為正如您今年所看到的,我們獲得了很多槓桿。

  • This is one of those years we said many times, sometimes our OpEx grows faster than revenue, and there are some other cycles where the opposite happens.

    這是我們多次說過的那些年之一,有時我們的運營支出增長速度快於收入,還有一些其他週期會發生相反的情況。

  • We are growing revenue this year much faster than our OpEx increase.

    我們今年的收入增長比我們的運營支出增長快得多。

  • But we want to continue to make all the necessary investments into the business.

    但我們希望繼續對業務進行所有必要的投資。

  • We will never underinvest in our business.

    我們永遠不會對我們的業務投資不足。

  • And so you will continue to see the fact that we -- we will continue to grow our operating expenses, particularly on the R&D side, which continues to be the core of the company.

    因此,您將繼續看到這樣一個事實,即我們將繼續增加運營費用,特別是在研發方面,這仍然是公司的核心。
