It’s no secret that iPhone sales, at best, have been somewhat stagnant over the past few years. Despite Apple’s best efforts to create excitement surrounding new models, the simple reality is that most iPhone releases over the past few years have been incremental at best. And while this doesn’t mean that new iPhone models are unimpressive with respect to performance and new features, it does illustrate that convincing iPhone owners to upgrade is more challenging than ever.
That notwithstanding, a lack of iPhone sales growth hasn’t fundamentally impacted Apple’s bottom line. For starters, with iPhone sales now priced higher than ever, Apple has been able to offset a drop off in iPhone sales volume with a higher ASP per phone. What’s more, Apple has a burgeoning services division that continues to grow at an impressive clip. And last but not least, Apple’s “Wearables, Home, and Accessories” division — which includes AirPods and the Apple Watch — continues to see huge increases in quarterly revenue.
