Apple’s third quarter fiscal of 2024 – events Apple’s Q3 quarter is usually Apple’s quietest, due to the lack of major new product launches. Apple’s major product launches are usually made after the quarter’s end in the fall. This is relevant to the company’s fourth quarter earnings. There’s usually a sales slump as consumers prepare to upgrade their iPhones. Some products will still have an impact on the quarter. It will be the first quarter that the MacBook Air upgrades have been sold. Apple’s rolling Apple Silicon updates brought the 13-inch and 15 inch models up to M3. Apple introduced the new iPad Pro, which has M4, as well as the upgraded iPad Air, with M2 and 13-inch options. The Apple Pencil Pro was also released in May. The launch of the M4 chips opens up a new upgrade opportunity for Mac users. Apple also held its annual developer conference, WWDC, during this period. Apple Intelligence was revealed at the event. This is its machine learning and generative AI initiative. The industry responded very positively to this. Investors may be influenced to buy more Apple stock as a result of the warm reception and the possibility that Apple Intelligence will lead to a major iPhone cycle in the fall. Wall Street is currently predicting that Apple will report $83,86 billion in revenue with a $1.33 earnings per share.
