Apple 2nd Quarter 2020 Key takeaways:
Apple Results. Tech Giant Earnings for Very Busy People.
Apple had a fairly resilient quarter despite the major headwinds announced earlier in the year as they were one of the first tech giants to see a major shortfall with the close of their retail stores in China and the shocks to the supply chain.
