    有了這個,讓我們打開問題的電話。

  • Tejas Gala - IR Contact

    Tejas Gala - IR Contact

  • Thank you, Luca.

    謝謝你,盧卡。

  • (Operator Instructions) Operator, may we have the first question, please?

    (操作員說明)操作員,請問第一個問題好嗎?

  • Operator

    Operator

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • That will be from Amit Daryanani with Evercore.

    這將來自 Evercore 的 Amit Daryanani。

  • Amit Jawaharlaz Daryanani - Senior MD & Fundamental Research Analyst

    Amit Jawaharlaz Daryanani - Senior MD & Fundamental Research Analyst

  • I guess first one for me.

    我想第一個適合我。

  • On Wearables, fairly impressive to see it's already a $10 billion business for you guys.

    在可穿戴設備上,看到它對你們來說已經是 100 億美元的業務,這令人印象深刻。

  • Can you just touch on the growth that you see on the Wearables side?

    你能談談你在可穿戴設備方面看到的增長嗎?

  • How much of the growth do you think is coming from first-time buyers of AirPods or Apple Watch versus folks that seem to be just upgrading the products that they have?

    你認為有多少增長來自 AirPods 或 Apple Watch 的首次購買者,而不是那些似乎只是升級他們擁有的產品的人?

  • Because it looks to us adoption rates are fairly low in your installed base so there should be a long runway, but love to just understand how you see the growth divided between those 2 buckets.

    因為在我們看來,您的安裝基礎的採用率相當低,所以應該有很長的路要走,但很想了解您如何看待這兩個桶之間的增長。

  • Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

    Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • Amit, it's Tim.

    阿米特,是蒂姆。

  • If you look at the Apple -- or the Wearables as a category within the Wearables, Home and Accessories revenue, Wearables grew 44%, so it was very strong, as you say.

    如果您將 Apple 或可穿戴設備視為可穿戴設備、家居和配件收入中的一個類別,可穿戴設備增長了 44%,所以正如您所說,它非常強勁。

  • The -- both Apple Watch and AirPods did very well in terms of collecting new customers.

    Apple Watch 和 AirPods 在吸引新客戶方面都做得很好。

  • Apple Watch, in particular, 75% of the customers are new to the Apple Watch, and so it's still very much selling to new customers at this point.

    尤其是 Apple Watch,75% 的客戶是 Apple Watch 的新用戶,因此目前它仍在向新客戶銷售。

  • Amit Jawaharlaz Daryanani - Senior MD & Fundamental Research Analyst

    Amit Jawaharlaz Daryanani - Senior MD & Fundamental Research Analyst

  • Perfect.

    完美的。

  • And I guess, Luca, if you could just touch on gross margins.

    我想,盧卡,如果你能談談毛利率。

  • The March quarter guide, I think, implies gross margins are flat to actually up 10, 15 basis points.

    我認為,3 月季度指南意味著毛利率持平,實際上上升了 10、15 個基點。

  • It's rare for you guys to actually guide gross margins up in March, I think, because you have a fairly high seasonal sales deleverage happening.

    我認為,你們很難在 3 月份真正引導毛利率上升,因為你們正在發生相當高的季節性銷售去槓桿化。

  • So what are the offsets that's enabling what looks like a better-than-seasonal guide for gross margins?

    那麼,是什麼抵消了使毛利率看起來好於季節性的指導呢?

  • Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

    Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

  • Yes, that's right, Amit.

    是的,沒錯,阿米特。

  • It's about flat sequentially and, by the way, significantly higher on a year-over-year basis.

    環比持平,順便說一句,同比顯著增加。

  • But on a sequential basis, you're right.

    但在順序的基礎上,你是對的。

  • On one side, we got the loss of leverage from the usual seasonality, but we expect that, that loss of leverage will be offset by better mix and cost savings.

    一方面,我們從通常的季節性中損失了槓桿,但我們預計,槓桿損失將被更好的組合和成本節約所抵消。

  • Tejas Gala - IR Contact

    Tejas Gala - IR Contact

    恭喜 Apple TV+ 的推出。

  • I wanted to know internally how you are gauging success.

    我想在內部知道你是如何衡量成功的。

  • Is it purely on critical acclaim?

    純粹是為了獲得好評嗎?

  • Is it on number of consumers that are using the service, contribution of service revenue, et cetera, et cetera?

    是否與使用服務的消費者數量、服務收入的貢獻等有關?

  • Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

    Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

  • Tom, it's Tim.

    湯姆,是蒂姆。

  • We are primarily measuring ourselves on the number of subscribers.

    我們主要根據訂閱者數量來衡量自己。

  • As you can tell from the way that we launched the product, we started with a very aggressive price at $4.99.

    從我們推出產品的方式可以看出,我們以 4.99 美元的非常激進的價格開始。

  • And in addition to that, we have our bundle, where if you buy pretty much any device, you're getting a year for free, and so we're very focused on subscribers.

    除此之外,我們還有我們的捆綁包,如果您購買幾乎任何設備,您將免費獲得一年,因此我們非常關注訂閱者。

  • That said, our -- the product itself is about storytelling.

    也就是說,我們的產品本身就是講故事的。

  • And we think if we do that well, then we'll find that there will be some number of those that will also be critically acclaimed and we're seeing that with The Morning Show.

    我們認為,如果我們做得好,那麼我們會發現其中一些也會受到好評,我們在早間秀中看到了這一點。

  • We're seeing that with Little America and others.

    我們在 Little America 和其他人身上看到了這一點。

  • Thomas Ferris Forte - MD & Senior Research Analyst

    Thomas Ferris Forte - MD & Senior Research Analyst

  • Great.

    偉大的。

  • And then my second question is, I think you indicated that last month, you started offering consumers the ability to use their Apple Card to buy an iPhone on an installment basis.

    然後我的第二個問題是,我認為你表示上個月,你開始向消費者提供使用他們的 Apple Card 分期付款購買 iPhone 的能力。

  • Can you talk about how that's had an impact on your unit sales for iPhones?

    你能談談這對你的 iPhone 銷量有何影響嗎?

  • Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

    Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

  • The retail stores did fantastic on iPhone, very strong double-digit growth in iPhone from a year-over-year point of view.

    零售店在 iPhone 上的表現非常出色,從同比來看,iPhone 的兩位數增長非常強勁。

  • And one of the factors that enabled that was the -- getting to monthly payments on the Apple Card to make it very simple.

    促成這一點的因素之一是——通過 Apple Card 每月付款,使其變得非常簡單。

  • Of course, that's U.S.-only at this point, but the U.S. is a very key market for us.

    當然,目前這僅限於美國,但美國對我們來說是一個非常關鍵的市場。

  • And so it was an important part of it.

    所以它是其中的一個重要部分。

  • Tejas Gala - IR Contact

    Shannon Siemsen Cross - Co-Founder, Principal & Analyst

  • I wanted to go back to revisit China.

    我想回去重溫中國。

  • Tim, can you talk about what you're seeing in the region -- what you were seeing in the region prior to the health crisis?

    蒂姆,您能否談談您在該地區看到的情況——在健康危機之前您在該地區看到的情況?

  • And then can you also update us a bit in terms of your manufacturing strategy, dual sourcing, geographic diversification even within the region just so we have some idea of how this will be managed?

    然後,您能否也向我們介紹一下您的製造戰略、雙重採購、甚至在該地區內的地域多元化,以便我們對如何管理有所了解?

  • Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

    Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • Thanks, Shannon.

    謝謝,香農。

  • In terms of China, the results from last quarter and then I'll get into the coronavirus second.

    就中國而言,上個季度的結果,然後我將進入第二個冠狀病毒。

  • For the results from last quarter, we had double-digit growth for iPhone in Mainland China, so that was an important change from where we had been running.

    就上一季度的業績而言,我們在中國大陸的 iPhone 實現了兩位數的增長,因此與我們以往的運營方式相比,這是一個重要的變化。

  • We also had double-digit growth in Services in Mainland China, and we had extremely strong double-digit on Wearables.

    我們在中國大陸的服務也有兩位數的增長,我們在可穿戴設備方面也有非常強勁的兩位數。

  • And so really, there were a number of different factors.

    確實,有許多不同的因素。

  • In terms of the things that customers are responding to, iPhone 11 is doing particularly well there.

    就客戶的反應而言,iPhone 11 在這方面做得特別好。

  • The product has been very well received with its battery life, and the camera is unbelievable.

    該產品的電池壽命非常受歡迎,相機令人難以置信。

  • We also, as you probably know, have certain trade-in programs going and financing programs.

    您可能知道,我們也有某些以舊換新計劃和融資計劃。

  • These have also been well-received.

    這些也受到了好評。

  • And so it's sort of the sum of all of this, and we're attracting quite a large percentage of new customers on products like the Mac.

    所以這是所有這些的總和,我們在 Mac 等產品上吸引了相當大比例的新客戶。

  • 3/4 of the customers buying a Mac in China are new, and nearly 2/3 of the customers buying iPad are new.

    在中國購買 Mac 的客戶中有 3/4 是新客戶,而購買 iPad 的客戶中有近 2/3 是新客戶。

  • And so it was a terrific quarter.

    所以這是一個了不起的季度。

  • We had 3 of the top 4 selling smartphones in urban China according to Kantar.

    根據 Kantar 的數據,我們擁有中國城市銷量前 4 名的智能手機中的 3 款。

  • In terms of the coronavirus, as I mentioned earlier, first and foremost, our thoughts are with all of those that are affected across the region.

    就冠狀病毒而言,正如我之前提到的,首先,我們的想法與該地區所有受影響的人同在。

  • And as I've mentioned, we're donating to groups that are working to contain the outbreak.

    正如我所提到的,我們正在向正在努力控制疫情的團體捐款。

  • We're also working very closely with our team and our partners in the affected areas, and we have limited travel to business-critical situations as of last week.

    我們還與我們的團隊和受影響地區的合作夥伴密切合作,截至上週,我們在關鍵業務情況下的出差有限。

  • The situation is emerging, and we're still gathering lots of data points and monitoring it very closely.

    情況正在出現,我們仍在收集大量數據點並密切監控。

  • As Luca had mentioned, we have a wider-than-usual revenue range for the second quarter due to the greater uncertainty.

    正如盧卡所提到的,由於更大的不確定性,我們第二季度的收入範圍比往常更廣。

  • I'll talk about supply chain and customer demand some to give you some color.

    我會談談供應鍊和客戶需求一些給你一些顏色。

  • With respect to the supply chain, we do have some suppliers in the Wuhan area.

    在供應鏈方面,我們在武漢地區確實有一些供應商。

  • All of these suppliers, there are alternate sources, and we're obviously working on mitigation plans to make up any expected production loss.

    所有這些供應商都有替代來源,我們顯然正在製定緩解計劃以彌補任何預期的生產損失。

  • We factored our best thinking in the guidance that we provided you.

    我們在為您提供的指導中考慮了我們的最佳想法。

  • With respect to supply sources that are outside the Wuhan area, the impact is less clear at this time.

    對於武漢地區以外的供應來源,目前影響不太明顯。

  • The reopening of those factories after Chinese New Year has been moved from the end of this month to February 10, depending upon the supplier location.

    春節後這些工廠的重新開工已從本月底推遲到 2 月 10 日,具體取決於供應商的位置。

  • And we've attempted to account for this delayed start-up through our larger range of outcomes that Luca mentioned earlier.

    我們試圖通過盧卡之前提到的更大範圍的結果來解釋這種延遲啟動。

  • With respect to customer demand and sales, we've currently closed 1 of our retail stores, and a number of channel partners have also closed their storefronts.

    在客戶需求和銷售方面,我們目前已經關閉了 1 家零售店,一些渠道合作夥伴也關閉了他們的店面。

  • Many of the stores that remain open have also reduced operating hours.

    許多仍然營業的商店也減少了營業時間。

  • We're taking additional precautions and frequently deep cleaning our stores as well as conducting temperature checks for employees.

    我們正在採取額外的預防措施,經常對我們的商店進行深度清潔,並對員工進行體溫檢查。

  • While our sales within the Wuhan area itself are small, retail traffic has also been impacted outside of this area across the country in the last few days.

    雖然我們在武漢地區本身的銷售額很小,但過去幾天全國該地區以外的零售流量也受到了影響。

  • And again, we have attempted to account for this in our guidance range that we've provided you.

    再一次,我們試圖在我們為您提供的指導範圍內考慮這一點。

  • I hope that gives you some color.

    我希望這能給你一些顏色。

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

    Shannon Siemsen Cross - Co-Founder, Principal & Analyst

  • Yes, that was really helpful.

    是的,這真的很有幫助。

  • Luca, maybe if you could just touch on, from a gross margin perspective, the commodity pricing environment and availability.

    盧卡,也許你可以從毛利率的角度談談商品定價環境和可用性。

  • Obviously, there's been some movement on DRAM and NAND.

    顯然,DRAM 和 NAND 已經發生了一些變化。

  • So if you can talk about how you're thinking about inventory levels and managing that going forward.

    所以,如果你能談談你是如何考慮庫存水平並管理它的。

  • Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

    Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • As I said earlier to the question around the gross margin guidance for the March quarter, we are seeing a benign commodity environment.

    正如我之前在關於 3 月份季度毛利率指導的問題上所說的那樣,我們看到了一個良性的商品環境。

  • Most commodities have been declining during the December quarter, and we expect the same to happen in the March quarter.

    大多數商品在 12 月季度一直在下跌,我們預計在 3 月季度也會發生同樣的情況。

  • As always and as you probably know, we look at the way these prices move.

    與往常一樣,正如您可能知道的那樣,我們著眼於這些價格的變動方式。

  • And at times when we feel it's appropriate, we buy certain commodities in advance.

    有時我們覺得合適,我們會提前購買某些商品。

  • And so we will continue that practice as we go through the year.

    因此,我們將在這一年中繼續這種做法。

  • Tejas Gala - IR Contact

  • Luca, can you address the modest slowdown in Services growth this quarter, 17% versus 18% in September?

    Luca,您能否解決本季度服務業增長放緩的問題,即 17% 與 9 月的 18% 相比?

  • Which Services categories accelerated versus where did you see some deceleration in the growth?

    哪些服務類別加速,而您在哪裡看到增長減速?

  • Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

    Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

  • Katy, let me make a couple of comments here.

    凱蒂,讓我在這裡發表一些評論。

  • The 17% during the December quarter, we look at it against our fiscal year '19 growth rate, which was 16%, so we feel very good about the results for the December quarter.

    12 月季度的 17%,我們將其與 19 財年的增長率(16%)進行比較,因此我們對 12 月季度的結果感到非常滿意。

  • As Tim and I mentioned during our prepared remarks, it was a very broad-based growth because we grew double digits in Services across all the 5 geographies.

    正如蒂姆和我在準備好的演講中提到的那樣,這是一個非常廣泛的增長,因為我們在所有 5 個地區的服務業都實現了兩位數的增長。

  • We set all-time records for many, many categories, music, cloud, search ads, payment services, December records for the App Store and AppleCare.

    我們創造了許多類別、音樂、雲、搜索廣告、支付服務的歷史記錄,App Store 和 AppleCare 的 12 月記錄。

  • If you remember, we had set 2 goals for ourselves in the Services segment.

    如果您還記得,我們在服務領域為自己設定了 2 個目標。

  • First, we set a goal to double our fiscal '16 revenue during 2020, and when we look at it on a run rate basis, we've already achieved that goal with the results for the December quarter.

    首先,我們設定了在 2020 年將 16 財年收入翻番的目標,當我們從運行率的基礎上看時,我們已經通過 12 月季度的結果實現了這一目標。

  • We also set a goal to pass 500 million paid subscriptions during 2020.

    我們還設定了在 2020 年實現 5 億付費訂閱的目標。

  • And given that we are already at 480 million at the end of December, we expect to pass that mark during the March quarter.

    鑑於我們在 12 月底已經達到 4.8 億,我們預計將在 3 月季度超過這個數字。

  • And so now we are setting a new target for ourselves for paid subscriptions.

    所以現在我們正在為自己設定一個新的付費訂閱目標。

  • And so we are now aiming to reach 600 million before the end of calendar 2020.

    因此,我們現在的目標是在 2020 年年底之前達到 6 億。

  • So we feel that the Services business is growing incredibly well.

    所以我們覺得服務業務發展得非常好。

  • Of course, we have launched new services very recently.

    當然,我們最近推出了新服務。

  • For example, Apple TV+ just launched in November.

    例如,Apple TV+ 剛剛在 11 月推出。

  • And so while these services did not have a material impact in our December quarter results, we expect that over time, these are contributing to the growth of the Services business.

    因此,雖然這些服務對我們 12 月的季度業績沒有產生重大影響,但我們預計隨著時間的推移,這些服務將有助於服務業務的增長。

  • But we feel very happy with the 17%.

    但我們對這 17% 感到非常滿意。

    您認為手機中的 5G 功能有多大的需求驅動力?

  • And what's your view as to what the killer app will be from a consumer perspective?

    從消費者的角度來看,你對殺手級應用的看法是什麼?

    關於 5G,我認為它是——而且我們正處於其在全球範圍內部署的早期階段。

    Kyle P. McNealy - Equity Analyst

  • So we're seeing some signs of new spectrum being deployed for 5G deployments and even additional 4G capacity, and it's already having a positive impact for handset upgrades to use that new capacity.

    因此,我們看到一些跡象表明正在為 5G 部署甚至額外的 4G 容量部署新頻譜,並且它已經對使用新容量的手機升級產生了積極影響。

  • Do you get the sense that wireless carriers are getting more incentivized to upgrade handsets to get leverage out of these new network investments?

    您是否感覺到無線運營商越來越有動力升級手機以利用這些新的網絡投資?

  • How much might this be helping?

    這有多大幫助?

  • And do you think it will continue to accelerate?

    你認為它會繼續加速嗎?

  • Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

    Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

  • I think that we've had some great partners not only in the U.S. but also around the world that were really helpful this quarter as partners.

    我認為我們不僅在美國,而且在世界各地都有一些很棒的合作夥伴,他們作為合作夥伴在本季度非常有幫助。

  • And so I think that probably a part of that is the level of investments they have, and then a part of it is probably making sure that those customers stick with them in an environment where there's a lot of trading back and forth.

    所以我認為其中一部分可能是他們擁有的投資水平,然後一部分可能是確保這些客戶在一個來回交易很多的環境中堅持下去。

  • So I'm optimistic that it will continue.

    所以我很樂觀,它會繼續下去。

  • Kyle P. McNealy - Equity Analyst

    Kyle P. McNealy - Equity Analyst

  • Okay, great.

    好的,太好了。

  • And then the comment that you made about capacity in your Wearables division with AirPods Pro and Apple Watch 3, what should we think about the time line of when those capacity constraints might be alleviated?

    然後你對 AirPods Pro 和 Apple Watch 3 的可穿戴設備部門的容量發表的評論,我們應該如何考慮何時可以緩解這些容量限制?

  • And will they come from capacity additions or the natural workout of kind of unit shipments and something on the demand side?

    它們是來自產能增加還是單位出貨量的自然鍛煉以及需求方面的一些東西?

  • Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

    Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

  • I'm hopeful that the Series 3 will come into balance during this quarter.

    我希望系列 3 將在本季度達到平衡。

  • On AirPods Pro, I don't have an estimate for that for you.

    在 AirPods Pro 上,我無法為您提供估算值。

  • I just can't predict when at this point where -- we seem to be fairly substantially off there, and we're working very hard to put in additional capacity.

    我只是無法預測在這一點上什麼時候 - 我們似乎已經相當大了,我們正在努力增加額外的容量。

  • Tim, Apple has a very valuable installed base of users.

    Tim,Apple 擁有非常有價值的用戶群。

  • Can you see a future where Apple can become larger in the advertising market as you build out TV+, given you could have the unique position and ability to drive targeted ads to users without compromising on privacy?

    鑑於您可以擁有獨特的地位和能力,在不影響隱私的情況下向用戶推送有針對性的廣告,您能否看到 Apple 在廣告市場上變得更大的未來?

  • I wouldn't want to conjecture about us in that business.

    我不想在那個行業猜測我們。

  • I think for the TV+ business, we feel strongly that what that customer wants is an ad-free product, and so that's not our aversion to ads, it's what we believe that the customer wants.

    我認為對於 TV+ 業務,我們強烈認為客戶想要的是無廣告產品,所以這不是我們對廣告的厭惡,而是我們認為客戶想要的。

  • Wamsi Mohan - Director

    Wamsi Mohan - Director

  • Okay.

    好的。

  • And Luca, can you just clarify if the Services revenue this quarter had any impact of deferrals associated with TV+ at all?

    Luca,您能否澄清一下本季度的服務收入是否對與 TV+ 相關的延期有任何影響?

  • And how can you help us maybe size the impact of the amortization of the content cost associated with TV+ as we think about the next couple of years?

    當我們考慮未來幾年時,您如何幫助我們衡量與 TV+ 相關的內容成本攤銷的影響?

  • Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

    Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • So yes, of course, we launched the service, and so there was a very small contribution to revenue from the deferral.

    所以是的,當然,我們推出了這項服務,因此延期對收入的貢獻非常小。

  • And there was also a contribution to revenue from the people, the subscribers that are actually paying for the service.

    人們也對收入做出了貢獻,這些用戶實際上是為服務付費的。

  • When you think about what goes into the Apple TV+ revenue, at this point, there are 2 components: the paid subscribers, these are the customers that pay for the service and we recognize revenue over the subscription period; and then we've got the what we call the Apple TV+ bundle subscribers, these are the customers that buy an eligible hardware device and redeem the offer for a free year of TV+ services.

    當您考慮 Apple TV+ 收入的組成部分時,此時有 2 個組成部分:付費訂閱者,這些是為服務付費的客戶,我們在訂閱期內確認收入;然後我們得到了我們所說的 Apple TV+ 捆綁訂閱用戶,這些用戶購買了符合條件的硬件設備並兌換了一年免費 TV+ 服務的優惠。

  • We defer revenue for this offer based on 3 items.

    我們根據 3 個項目推遲此優惠的收入。

  • The first one is the value of the service that is being provided, the 1-year of Apple TV+.

    第一個是所提供服務的價值,即 Apple TV+ 的 1 年。

  • The second one is the number of customers that are eligible for the offer, and the third one is our estimate of the expected number of customers that will redeem the offer.

    第二個是有資格獲得優惠的客戶數量,第三個是我們對將兌換優惠的預期客戶數量的估計。

  • So you need to keep in mind that from our total eligible device sales, you need to make a number of reductions for family sharing, for multiple device purchases and for geographic availability.

    因此,您需要記住,從我們符合條件的設備銷售總額中,您需要為家庭共享、購買多台設備和地理可用性做出一些減少。

  • Also the take rate can also be impacted by the availability of local content, and we also require a payment method on file.

    此外,獲取率也會受到本地內容可用性的影響,而且我們還需要存檔的付款方式。

  • So this estimate is reviewed quarterly and gets updated based on actual trends of the offer.

    因此,此估算每季度進行一次審核,並根據報價的實際趨勢進行更新。

  • And so these inputs provide us with the amount of revenue that we defer for each device sale that then gets recognized over the 1-year period that the TV+ service is provided.

    因此,這些輸入為我們提供了我們為每個設備銷售延遲的收入金額,然後在提供 TV+ 服務的 1 年內得到確認。

  • And so when you take the combination of pay subscribers and bundled subscribers, you get the Apple TV+ revenue.

    因此,當您將付費訂閱者和捆綁訂閱者結合起來時,您將獲得 Apple TV+ 的收入。

  • Of course, because we launched the service very recently, the amount of revenue that we recognized during the quarter was immaterial to our results.

    當然,因為我們最近推出了這項服務,所以我們在本季度確認的收入金額對我們的業績並不重要。

  • With regard to the cost of the service, of developing the content, we -- essentially, as we incur these costs, we put them on the balance sheet, and then we amortize them over a certain period of time depending on the type of content that we produce.

    關於服務的成本,開發內容的成本,我們——基本上,當我們產生這些成本時,我們把它們放在資產負債表上,然後我們根據內容的類型在一段時間內攤銷它們我們生產的。

  • I had 2 questions.

    我有 2 個問題。

  • First one, Tim, I just wanted to pick your brain a little bit on the overall smartphone market.

    第一個,蒂姆,我只是想稍微了解一下整個智能手機市場。

  • There's a general view that when 5G phones come out, they're going to be more expensive due to higher component costs.

    人們普遍認為,當 5G 手機問世時,由於組件成本更高,它們會變得更貴。

  • But at the same time, it looks like you guys have proven that there is a market for low-cost geographies with phones like iPhone SE.

    但與此同時,你們似乎已經證明,像 iPhone SE 這樣的手機在低成本地區是有市場的。

  • So how do you see these 2 different segments within the smartphone market evolving over the next 1 to 3 years?

    那麼,您如何看待智能手機市場中這兩個不同的細分市場在未來 1 到 3 年的發展?

  • 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

  • Again, I want to stay away from commenting about future products.

    同樣,我想遠離評論未來的產品。

  • But generally, I think it's important when you think about 5G is to look around the world at the different deployment schedules.

    但總的來說,我認為當你想到 5G 時,重要的是要環顧世界各地不同的部署時間表。

  • And some of those look very different perhaps than what you might be seeing here.

    其中一些看起來可能與您在這裡看到的非常不同。

  • And so that's very important.

    所以這非常重要。

  • In terms of the price, I wouldn't want to comment on the price of handsets that aren't announced.

    在價格方面,我不想評論未公佈的手機價格。

  • And then a follow-up for Luca.

    然後是盧卡的後續行動。

  • OpEx as a percentage of sales for March looks like about 15% higher than in your prior quarters.

    3 月份運營支出佔銷售額的百分比看起來比前幾個季度高出約 15%。

  • Kind of curious, how much of that, as part of it, is driven by some of your Intel modem asset purchases or TV+ in the OpEx?

    有點好奇,其中有多少是由您購買的一些英特爾調製解調器資產或運營支出中的 TV+ 推動的?

  • Or how do we think about it on a go-forward basis?

    或者我們如何看待它?

  • Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

    Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • I think we felt good about our OpEx results because they were at the low end of our guidance range.

    我認為我們對運營支出結果感覺良好,因為它們處於我們指導範圍的低端。

  • But clearly, we want to make all the necessary investments in the business.

    但顯然,我們希望對業務進行所有必要的投資。

  • And from -- in terms of the new services, not only for TV+ but all the new services that we launched during 2019, this is a period where we're making the necessary investments in advertising and marketing, and that level of investment is reflected in our OpEx results.

    而且,就新服務而言,不僅針對 TV+,而且針對我們在 2019 年推出的所有新服務,這是我們在廣告和營銷方面進行必要投資的時期,投資水平也得到了體現在我們的運營支出結果中。

  • And also, as you correctly stated, we completed the acquisition of the Intel baseband business during the December quarter.

    而且,正如您所說的,我們在 12 月季度完成了對英特爾基帶業務的收購。

  • And so we had -- we reflected the run rate of the expenses related to that business partially during the quarter after the completion of the transaction.

    所以我們有 - 我們在交易完成後的季度部分反映了與該業務相關的費用的運行率。

  • And we -- that is a very important core technology for the company, so we will continue to make all the necessary investments also there.

    我們——這對公司來說是一項非常重要的核心技術,因此我們將繼續在那裡進行所有必要的投資。

  • There is a third category of expenses that affected the December quarter and is the fact that our revenue was very strong, and we have certain variable expenses, for example, credit card fees that are associated with higher volume and, of course, impacted our OpEx results.

    影響 12 月季度的第三類費用是我們的收入非常強勁的事實,而且我們有某些可變費用,例如與更高數量相關的信用卡費用,當然,影響了我們的運營支出結果。

  • So a slightly different take on an earlier question on Wearables, and that is, what impact do you think Wearables is having on driving people into the Apple ecosystem?

    因此,對之前關於可穿戴設備的問題的看法略有不同,也就是說,您認為可穿戴設備對推動人們進入蘋果生態系統有什麼影響?

  • You mentioned 75% of watch buyers are new to the Apple Watch, but are many of them new to Apple overall?

    您提到 75% 的手錶購買者是 Apple Watch 的新手,但他們中的許多人是 Apple 的新手嗎?

  • I'm sure a lot of existing iPhone, iPad or Mac users are going to be Wearables customers, but do you think Wearables bring people into the ecosystem to buy other devices in a material way?

    我敢肯定,很多現有的 iPhone、iPad 或 Mac 用戶將成為可穿戴設備的客戶,但您認為可穿戴設備會將人們帶入生態系統,以物質方式購買其他設備嗎?

  • With each Apple product that a customer buys, I think they get tighter into the ecosystem because they like -- that's the reason that they're buying into it, is they like the experience, the customer experience.

    對於客戶購買的每一款 Apple 產品,我認為他們會更緊密地融入生態系統,因為他們喜歡——這就是他們購買它的原因,他們喜歡這種體驗、客戶體驗。

  • And so from that point of view, I think each of our products can drive another product.

    所以從這個角度來看,我認為我們的每個產品都可以驅動另一個產品。

  • I would think in that case, it's more likely that the iPhone comes first, but there's no doubt in my mind that there's some people that came into the ecosystem for the Watch.

    我認為在這種情況下,iPhone 更有可能首先出現,但在我看來,毫無疑問,有些人進入了 Watch 的生態系統。

  • Michael Joseph Olson - MD & Senior Research Analyst

    Michael Joseph Olson - MD & Senior Research Analyst

  • Yes.

  • And then I think you recently mentioned that augmented reality will pervade our entire lives.

    然後我想你最近提到增強現實將滲透到我們的整個生活中。

  • And I'm wondering if you could share your thoughts about how you think it starts to impact our lives most significantly.

    我想知道您是否可以分享您認為它如何開始對我們的生活產生最重大影響的想法。

  • For example, will the inflection point in AR come from gaming or industrial usage or some other category?

    例如,AR 的拐點會來自遊戲或工業用途或其他類別嗎?

  • In other words, where will the average person kind of first feel the impact of AR on their lives in a significant way?

    換句話說,普通人會在哪里首先感受到 AR 對他們生活的重大影響?

  • Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

    Timothy D. Cook - CEO & Director

  • I think when you look at AR today, you would see that there are consumer applications, there are enterprise applications.

    我認為當您今天查看 AR 時,您會看到有消費者應用程序,也有企業應用程序。

  • This is the reason I'm so excited about it, is you rarely have a new technology where business and consumer are both -- most see it as key to them.

    這就是我對它如此興奮的原因,你很少有一項新技術,企業和消費者都需要——大多數人認為它是他們的關鍵。

  • And so I think it's -- the answer is that that's the reason that I think it's going to pervade your life, is because it's going to go across both business and your home life.

    所以我認為是——答案是,這就是我認為它會滲透到你生活中的原因,因為它會滲透到商業和家庭生活中。

  • And I think these things will happen in parallel.

    我認為這些事情會同時發生。

  • There are already companies that are deep into the enterprise business that are working on applications for the enterprise.

    已經有一些深入企業業務的公司正在為企業開發應用程序。

  • And of course, you can see -- you can go on the store and see thousands of apps that are ARKit-enabled at this time and with even more coming.

    當然,你可以看到——你可以在商店裡看到數千個支持 ARKit 的應用程序,而且還會有更多。

  • Wondering if you could expand on that a little bit.

    想知道你是否可以擴展一點。

  • And clearly, iPhone is doing well within the overall mix, growing year-on-year.

    顯然,iPhone 在整體組合中表現良好,同比增長。

  • But if you could talk about what's happening to the mix within iPhone.

    但是,如果你能談談 iPhone 內部的混音發生了什麼。

  • Is that improving as well and also helping margins?

    這是否也在改善並有助於提高利潤率?

  • Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

    Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

  • I think that the mix helped us both in Q1, and it's helping us with the guidance for Q2.

    我認為這種組合在第一季度對我們雙方都有幫助,並且在為第二季度提供指導。

  • And as you said, some of it is mix of iPhones.

    正如你所說,其中一些是 iPhone 的混合體。

  • The customer response for iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max has been exceptional, and that clearly has helped our mix.

    客戶對 iPhone 11、11 Pro 和 11 Pro Max 的反應非常出色,這顯然有助於我們的組合。

  • iPhone 11 was our top-selling model throughout the quarter, every single week of the quarter.

    iPhone 11 是我們整個季度最暢銷的機型,在本季度的每一周都是如此。

  • And so certainly, better mix within iPhone.

    當然,在 iPhone 中更好地混合。

  • The other point that I'd like to point out is that as we move from Q1 to Q2, the proportion of revenue coming from Services increases versus the holiday quarter.

    我想指出的另一點是,隨著我們從第一季度到第二季度,來自服務的收入比例與假日季度相比有所增加。

  • And given the fact that Services are accretive to gross margin for the company, we end up getting a better mix from Services as well.

    鑑於服務可以增加公司的毛利率,我們最終也可以從服務中獲得更好的組合。

  • Christopher Caso - Research Analyst

    Christopher Caso - Research Analyst

  • Okay.

    好的。

  • And I guess a follow-on question with regard to OpEx, and it has been growing at a faster rate than revenue for, I guess, largely over the last 3 years or so.

    我猜是關於 OpEx 的後續問題,我猜在過去 3 年左右的時間裡,它的增長速度一直快於收入。

  • Can you set us some expectation with regard to when you get a return on that investment?

    你能給我們一些關於你什麼時候獲得投資回報的期望嗎?

  • I understand there are new investments that are happening now.

    我知道現在正在發生新的投資。

  • But how should we think about potential leverage going forward?

    但是我們應該如何考慮未來的潛在槓桿作用呢?

  • Is there a point in time where the OpEx spending tend to level off and you get some return on that?

    是否存在運營支出趨於平穩的時間點,並且您會從中獲得一些回報?

  • Or is it just a function of faster revenue growth in the future?

    或者它只是未來收入增長更快的一個功能?

  • Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

    Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

  • Well, I would start by saying that our expense to revenue ratio is incredibly competitive relative to other companies in our sector.

    好吧,我首先要說的是,相對於我們行業的其他公司,我們的費用收入比具有難以置信的競爭力。

  • There are years when our OpEx grows faster than our revenue, but we've also had years in the recent past where the opposite has happened.

    有幾年我們的 OpEx 增長速度超過了我們的收入,但我們在最近幾年也有過相反的情況。

  • We continue to believe that we have a lot of great opportunities in front of us.

    我們仍然相信,我們面前有很多很好的機會。

  • And just if you look at this past year, we launched many new initiatives, for example, on the Services front, which we want to support with the appropriate level of investment, not only marketing and advertising but also in R&D.

    回顧過去的一年,我們推出了許多新舉措,例如在服務方面,我們希望通過適當的投資水平來支持這些舉措,不僅包括營銷和廣告,還包括研發。

  • As I mentioned earlier, we closed the acquisition of the Intel baseband business because we think it's a very important strategic core technology for the company going forward.

    正如我之前提到的,我們完成了對英特爾基帶業務的收購,因為我們認為這是公司未來非常重要的戰略核心技術。

  • And I think from the results that you've seen during this quarter and the guidance that we provided during -- for the March quarter, I think we're doing a pretty good job at balancing the level of investments that we are making on the expense front with the level of returns that we get, both in terms of revenue and in terms of profitability that we're getting.

    我認為,從您在本季度看到的結果以及我們在 3 月季度提供的指導來看,我認為我們在平衡我們在費用與我們獲得的回報水平有關,無論是在收入方面還是在我們獲得的盈利能力方面。

  • Our net income, for example, was up 11% during the December quarter.

    例如,我們的淨收入在 12 月季度增長了 11%。

  • So if I can just maybe then follow up in terms of, obviously, you've returned to growth in most of the regions you report.

    因此,如果我可以跟進,顯然,您在報告的大多數地區都恢復了增長。

  • One of the regions that are declining is Japan, so if you can share your thoughts on what actions you need to take there to return that segment -- that geography to growth.

    正在下降的地區之一是日本,所以如果你能分享你的想法,你需要在那裡採取什麼行動來恢復該細分市場——該地區的增長。

  • And what are the product trends there?

    那裡的產品趨勢是什麼?

  • What's probably the headwind that's kind of limiting growth there?

    可能是什麼阻礙了那裡的增長?

  • Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

    Luca Maestri - CFO & Senior VP

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • So Japan was down 10% during the December quarter, was primarily due to iPhone performance, which was challenged because there were some regulatory changes that took effect on the 1st of October, where essentially, the regulators decoupled the mobile phone pricing from the 2-year contracts and are capping the maximum amount of carrier discounts that can be made.

    因此,日本在 12 月季度下降了 10%,主要是由於 iPhone 的性能受到了挑戰,因為 10 月 1 日發生了一些監管變化,監管機構基本上將手機定價與 2-年合同,並限制了可以提供的承運人折扣的最大金額。

  • At the same time, I would say, within a more difficult macro environment, iPhone did incredibly well during the quarter.

    與此同時,我想說,在更加困難的宏觀環境中,iPhone 在本季度的表現令人難以置信。

  • 6 of the top 7 selling smartphone models in Japan during the December quarter were iPhones.

    12 月當季日本銷量最高的 7 款智能手機型號中有 6 款是 iPhone。

  • So it was a very strong performance by iPhone in a difficult environment.

    所以這是 iPhone 在艱難的環境中表現非常出色的表現。

  • Also, in Japan, we had very strong double-digit growth from Services, stronger than company average, and very strong double-digit growth in Wearables, also stronger than company average.

    此外,在日本,我們的服務業務實現了非常強勁的兩位數增長,高於公司平均水平,而可穿戴設備也實現了非常強勁的兩位數增長,也高於公司平均水平。

  • So we feel very good.

    所以我們感覺很好。

  • Japan is a country where it's starting to -- we've had great success.

    日本是一個開始的國家——我們取得了巨大的成功。

  • The customers are very loyal and very engaged, and we have a very strong position there, and we feel we have a very good momentum.
