Apple released its financial results for the first financial quarter of 2023, or the fourth quarter of 2022’s calendar year, on February 2, 2023. It recorded a net quarterly profit of $30 billion, or $1.88 per diluted share, on revenue of $117.2 billion.

Comparatively, the prior-year quarter’s third quarter saw $123.9 billion in revenue and net quarterly earnings of $34.6 billion, or $2.10 per diluted share. Analysts had anticipated a smaller decrease in Apple’s revenue, which fell by about 5% year over year. The availability of iPhones was a problem for Apple, and sales of the Mac and wearables both suffered.
