Apple will report its results in the September quarter on Tuesday, when analysts expect the Cupertino firm to report $51b in revenue and a record 47.8m iPhone sales.
This general consensus among investors was revealed today by Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster in a research note, according to AppleInsider. Apple looks likely to have performed impressively in the quarter, not least because a far lower number of iPhones – 39m – were sold in the year-ago quarter.
Mac and iPad sales have also held up reasonably well, according to the markets. 5.7m Mac sales and 10.5m iPad sales are expected, compared to the respective sales of 5.5m and 12.3m in the equivalent segment of 2014.
Munster himself, however, reckons that the situation is even more promising than this. He is personally expecting $51.5b in revenue and iPhone sales of 48-49m. He forecasts the company’s gross margins, meanwhile, to have reached 39.5% – slightly higher than the 39.3% pegged by Wall Street.
