What Does Apple's Falling Revenue Indicate? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

What Does Apple's Falling Revenue Indicate? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Apple reported a 4% year-on-year drop in revenue in the first three months of 2024. Though the company beat Wall Street expectations, these numbers represent the steepest fall in Apple's revenue in more than a year. The fall in revenue has been attributed to a slowdown in China and multiple legal cases in the EU and the US. Apple will be hoping that the upcoming iPad models and its investments in Artificial Intelligence will help the company rebound. But Apple's struggles raise questions about how industry leaders can stay ahead of their rivals, especially in the tech industry. Palki Sharma tells you.

[@spatel30]

Have you looked at Apple stock price after the earnings? Revenues are down but on par with wall streets estimates. And in certain categories, it is better than Wall Street estimates. Their guidance is good and iOS 18 is said to have AI features which will probably turn things around. Majors financial institutions are maintaining buy or overweight rating with higher stock price in next 12 years. The problem is not as big as described in this video. Apple never cared about market share. They care about maintaining profit margins. And they are able to do it by offering the products that just provide better user experience. The competitors may have more features but when it comes to user experience, Apple wins.

They are not getting out of iOS ecosystem they just don't upgrade every year or so. Once u use something premium u will never go back to another option. One of the reason people are not buying iphone every year is phone technology innovation has reached close to saturation point and this applies to every brand which provide regular smartphones ( not some ambitious projects oike rog, foldables etc) also iphone life cycle is much more than other brands which leads to reduced recurring customers. People use iphone for 7 years on average compared to other brands which lower on the scale.

@@mayurwalavalkar9219 7 years on average?? Lol that's the ideal scenario. I see people upgrading every 2-3 years.

[@playchess8161]

As an avid user of the Apple iPhone 13 Pro, I've come to appreciate its capabilities firsthand. However, I can empathize with the shift in consumer behavior away from iPhones. The reasons are clear: first, the rising cost of iPhones, coupled with additional expenses for storage, can be daunting. Second, while Apple continually refines its camera technology, the leaps from one version to the next may not always feel substantial. Additionally, some users crave the flexibility that Android offers, as Apple's software can sometimes feel restrictive. Lastly, the competition in the smartphone market continues to evolve and improve, providing consumers with enticing alternatives.

[@renderingrini]

Nicely explained

[@tejasvahalia]

I liked the various examples across industries, that Palki’s cited, where market leaders got dethroned from their leadership positions by competition. This is some interesting research by Palki and her team to enrich the story. In terms of Huawei’s business posting a growth of 560 percent as suggested in this report and Apple undergoing a bit of a correction in its business, one needs to take into consideration the fact that Huawei’s an around USD 200 billion company and Apple’s market cap is of approximately USD 2.83 trillion. Huawei’s a fraction of Apple’s size and its growth is on a relatively far lower base vis-à-vis Apple. The figures aren't much of a comparison. So, there’s still time and opportunity for Apple to defend and sustain its market share leadership over the competition by keeping up with the advances in technology. On the contrary, rather than keeping up, Apple’s actually been an innovator of technology in the past decade and it should try and continue to maintain its competitive edge.

[@CodeCraftsman3141]

Nice article Ms Upadhya! But, I just wanted to express my disagreement with something that you said. I disagree with what you said about Tim Cook’s leadership at Apple. Nobody, I think, other than him would’ve done a better job of carrying Steve Jobs’ legacy forward for the company. It’s true that his vision for the future of the company was somewhat different from that of Steve Jobs, but he is a major reason, since he joined the company in 1998, for Apple being what it is today. And it’s just not true that Apple didn’t innovate under Tim Cook’s leadership. He thought that Apple had to not do stuff that could be more “fun” and experimental, which would affect the functionality of their existing products and the features they offered, which is exactly what happened to Android a couple years ago. And this is what, I think, he meant by what he said in that interview. It is true that Apple has not been innovating enough for the last year or so and although I’m not exactly sure of why that’s happening, I think that is mostly because they had to fight through the lawsuits filed against them by the US government and the EU. So, I hope that this phase where we’re seeing relatively less innovation from the company is temporary and that they recover from the hard time that they had for the past 2 years soon.

Leadership in the corporate world can only do what the shareholders will allow. Yes, good leadership sells a vision to the shareholders. Ultimately, though, the motivation that drove shareholders to buy stock in the first place will guide their receptiveness to the message of the leadership appointed by the board. Shareholders who come to a corporation for quarterly dividends won't be receptive to a message of innovation, which both diverts money from dividends and risks creating projects that won't be successful. A large and successful company will attract prospective shareholders who are looking for a blue chip investment, not an opportunity for rapid growth.

Sony TV's as well. There was a time when there was a Sony TV in every home but for some reason SONY reluctantly rode the wave of the flat screen TV revolution as against the traditional box set up which they were masters of. When they woke up it was too late, Samsung & LG had taken over.

It says to remain a classy user one has to buy latest iPhone. After release of every new iPhone old phone owners automatically fall into poor catagory.

Apples sales are down because they Devices don't break easily 👌😊. And they need Me. 🤞

Tim Cook has demonstrated strong leadership at Apple, driving the company's growth and profitability. However, bringing Jony Ive back could inject fresh creativity into Apple's design and product development, adding a new dimension to their innovation efforts.

It will take many years for other companies to push Apple down.. Apple devices are expensive.. now even Redmi comes with devices costing more than $1250.. no other companies can beat Apple devices..
