Read previewThe last thing Tim Cook needs this year is for the iPhone to give him a headache. Unfortunately for Apple, that task could be complicated as signs emerge that its workhorse gadget needs a revamp. In its most recent quarter, Apple generated almost $70 billion of its $119.6 billion total revenue from iPhone sales. China, Apple's most important international market, has started to sour on iPhones, bucking a trend of growth in other regions. Apple's AI efforts, led by ex-Googler and senior vice president John Giannandrea, could introduce several AI features to iPhones that offer an edge over Chinese competitors.

Apple on Thursday said it is expanding its self-service repair program to include its MacBook Pro and iMac models powered by the latest M3 chip. The program, which Apple announced in 2021, allows consumers to fix their own devices by giving them access to the company's manuals and legitimate Apple parts. Parts are available to customers through Apple's self-service repair online store. The program has covered earlier models of Apple's iPhones and Macs, but the expansion will cover iMac and MacBook Pro models that use its M3 chip, announced in October. In a release Thursday, Apple said its repair program helps extend its devices' longevity, which is "good for users and good for the planet."

The modest revenue growth announced Thursday as part of Apple’s October-December results ended four consecutive quarters of year-over-year sales declines. As usual, the iPhone accounted for the bulk of Apple’s revenue. Apple’s services division, which is tied largely to the iPhone, posted an 11% rise in revenue from the previous year to $23.12 billion. Both the revenue and earnings for the quarter exceeded analysts’ projections, according to FactSet Research. But investors appeared unimpressed with the showing as Apple’s stock price dropped 2% in extended trading after the numbers came out.

Apple reports fiscal first-quarter earnings after the bell. Investors will be closely watching to see if Apple guides to growth again in the current quarter. Some analysts believe Apple's iPhone revenue may look good in a soft market quarter, outperforming rivals that are also seeing weak demand. But a strong quarter of iPhone sales over the holiday season could mean a seasonally weak March quarter. "We remain comfortable with our current assumption of muted uptake for the device under 1% of Apple sales this year and next," Rosenblatt analyst Barton Crockett wrote in a note Wednesday.

Apple, meanwhile, has lowered its shipment forecast for the iPhone 15 in the first half of 2024, he added.

Apple's overall smartphone shipments fell 2.2% year-on-year in 2023, while the overall market fell 5%, IDC said. China's smartphone market has been hit because of an uncertain economic environment in the country and weak consumer spending.

Another market research firm called Counterpoint Research also came out with China numbers on Thursday. Counterpoint said it expects the China market to record low single-digit year-on-year growth in 2024, the first year of growth since 2018.

☆ Apple will avoid ban by selling latest Apple Watches without blood oxygen feature
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-17 | by ( Kif Leswing | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Apple will remove the blood oxygen feature from its latest Apple Watches, a move that will allow the company to continue importing and selling the devices in the U.S. as it battles with Masimo in court. Modified versions of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 will go on sale Thursday, Apple said in a statement. "These steps include introducing a version of Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the United States without the Blood Oxygen feature. There is no impact to Apple Watch units previously purchased that include the Blood Oxygen feature." WATCH: Apple again banned from selling watches in U.S. with blood oxygen sensor

The ruling issued Wednesday by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington comes three weeks after it blocked the ban. Apple is still trying to persuade the federal appeals court to overturn the ITC's ruling, but Wednesday's decision means the company is no longer insulated from the U.S. sales ban. The Cupertino, California, company also could negotiate a settlement with Masimo that would clear the way for it to continue selling the Apple Watch models with the blood-oxygen sensor. Having to pull its two top Apple Watches from the U.S. would put a small dent in the company's annual sales of $383 billion. Although the company doesn't disclose the volume of Apple Watch sales, analyst estimate the product accounts for about $18 billion in annual revenue.

The document didn't disclose how Apple plans to remove the blood-oxygen sensor, although analysts have speculated the change could come through a software update. Masimo won a favorable ruling from the U.S. International Trade Commission in late October that prompted Apple to temporarily halt sales of the Apple Watch models with the blood-oxygen sensor just before Christmas. But Apple then filed an appeal of the ITC ruling that resulted in a order clearing the way for the two Apple Watch models to return to stores shortly after Christmas while the appeal is under review. If it does, the Series 9 and Ultra 2 can remain on sale with the blood-oxygen sensors intact. Apple declined to comment on the court filing disclosing its plans to remove the blood-oxygen sensor if the stay isn't extended.

Persons: Masimo, Apple Organizations: Apple, U.S . Customs, U.S . International Trade Commission, ITC, U.S, Apple Watch Locations: Southern California, Washington, Cupertino , California

The appeal stemmed from an antitrust lawsuit filed in 2020 by Epic Games, maker of the popular Fortnite video game. Epic lost its broader claim that Cupertino, California-based Apple was violating federal antitrust law, and the justices also rejected Epic's appeal Tuesday. That change would make it easier for developers to avoid paying Apple’s commissions ranging from 15% to 30%. Apple's shares declined by 2% in Tuesday's early afternoon trading, leaving the company with a market value of about $2.8 trillion. Apple ousted Epic from its app store after it tried to get around Apple's restrictions.

Global smartphone sales rose in October after declining for 27 straight months on a year-on-year basis, led by a recovery in emerging markets, data from Counterpoint Research showed. October also recorded the highest monthly smartphone sales since January 2022, the report said. The launch of Apple's iPhone 15 series in late September also helped bolster smartphone sales. "As compared to last year, the launch was delayed by a week which meant the full effect of the new iPhone sales was felt in October," said Counterpoint Research.
