Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) Q1 2023 Earnings Call Transcript

Operator: Our next question will come from Krish Sankar of Cowen and Company.

Krish Sankar: I have 2. The first one, Tim and Luca, you mentioned how the macro did soften, and it has an impact. And as consumers tighten their belt, when you look across your hardware products and service businesses, where are you seeing the biggest impact and where are you seeing the least impact from the softening macro? And then I had a quick follow-up.

Timothy Cook: We think there were some impact across the products and in Services. Probably, the ones that we saw the most impact on were Mac and Wearables. You can see that in those numbers. And probably, the least would have been iPhone.

Krish Sankar: Got it. Got it. Very helpful, Tim. And then just a quick follow-up on the Mac. The PC industry is expecting a decline in PC shipments this year also. How do you think about the Mac relative to kind of like where the PC industry as a whole is expecting the shipments to end up? Is there any color you can give on that?

Timothy Cook: The industry is very challenged, as you say. It’s — the industry is contracting. I think from us, though, is — and I don’t know how this year will play out, so I don’t want to predict the year. But over the long run, we have a market that is a reasonable-sized market, a big market. And we have low share, and we have a competitive advantage with Apple silicon. And so strategically, I think we’re well positioned in the market, albeit I think it will be a little rough in the short term.
