“Apple didn’t just have its first revenue decline in 13 years. It had a massive blowout. A holey-moly-yikes-what-in-the-world-just-happened decline.”
Here’s a peek at the data:
14 out of 15 : The number of iPhone 6/6S consumers who, according to PYMNTS’ research, don’t use Apple Pay in a store when standing in front of a terminal that can accept it.
54%: The amount of Apple’s $1 billion revenue increase in Apple Services owable to a legal settlement with Samsung.
25.8%: Apple’s total revenue decline in China during Q2, totaling $4.3 billion.
17.4%: The total average decline in Apple’s three flagship products: iPhone, iPad and Mac.
.6%: The estimated amount of U.S. total card volume flowing through Apple Pay, according to PYMNTS’ research.
