Apple (AAPL) reported its Q1 earnings after the closing bell on Feb. 2, missing analysts' expectations on the top and bottom line as iPhone sales came up short, declining more than 8% year-over-year.

Here are the most important numbers from the report compared to what Wall Street was expecting, as compiled by Bloomberg.

• Revenue: $117.1 billion versus $121.1 billion expected

• Adj. earnings per share: $1.88 versus $1.94 expected

• iPhone revenue: $65.7 billion versus $68.3 billion expected

• Mac revenue: $7.7 billion versus $9.72 billion expected

• iPad revenue: $9.4 billion versus $7.7 billion expected

• Wearables: $13.4 billion versus $15.3 billion expected

• Services: $20.7 billion versus $20.4 billion expected

Apple shares were down more than 3% immediately following the report.

Apple faced significant headwinds throughout November and December, from COVID lockdowns and worker protests at manufacturer Foxconn’s facility in Zhengzhou, China. The plant, which employs 200,000 workers, produces the bulk of Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max handsets.

2. Sorry but these "analysts expectations" are mostly nonsense. They pull some number out of their

ass, as though they are some great oracle. It is joke.

Those numbers in the BILLIONS are nothing to sneeze at, especially in light of inflation and layoffs
