There are no signs of Apple slowing down any time soon...especially after its latest earnings report.
On Tuesday, the tech juggernaut announced its annual sales of $233.4 billion — Apple's best year ever. And Apple could thank devices like the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, Apple Watch and iPad Pro as contributors to its record year.
"Fiscal 2015 was Apple's most successful year ever, with revenue growing 28 percent to nearly $234 billion," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in the company's press release statement. "This continued success is the result of our commitment to making the best, most innovative products on earth, and it's a testament to the tremendous execution by our teams. We are heading into the holidays with our strongest product lineup yet, including iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, Apple Watch with an expanded lineup of cases and bands, the new iPad Pro and the all-new Apple TV which begins shipping this week."
Yes, with the holidays around the corner, Apple is projecting revenue between $75.5 billion and $77.5 billion for its fiscal 2016 first quarter. Part of what made its 2015 fourth quarter so strong was sales of the iPhone. Apple sold 48 million iPhones in that fourth quarter in addition to 9.9 million iPads and 5.7 million Macs.
Oddly enough, Apple achieved its best year yet despite decreased iPad shipments, which fell by 20 percent. Mac sales, though, rose by three percent to account for $6.9 billion. Apple also seen its AppleCare service rise 10 percent to $5.1 billion. In addition to all the aforementioned products and services, Apple was also aided by its music and Beats products.
And the machine keeps chugging.
