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.

But Tim Cook’s intentional strategy to shift away from a dominant revenue model in hardware to cultivate emerging services revenue streams is paying off. 

While iPhone sales indeed fell this past quarter, subscriptions and services were up 18% year over year with over 515 MM paid subscriptions, up $125 MM year over year. 

What does this prove? There is a divergence in the Tech Titans strategies. Those who move to diversify their revenue streams prove to be the most resilient in the long term.
