蘋果公司iPhone銷售量出現上市以來最低增長

Apple has reported the slowest growth in iPhone sales since the product's 2007 launch and warned sales will fall for the first time later this year.

蘋果公司近日發佈報告稱，iPhone銷售量出現了自2007年推出這款產品以來的最低增長，並警告稱今年晚些時候iPhone銷量將出現首次下滑。

The US tech giant sold 74.8 million iPhones in its fiscal first quarter, compared with 74.5 million a year ago.

這家美國科技巨頭在第一財政季度賣出了7480萬部iPhone手機，去年同期則賣出了7450萬部。

Apple said revenue for the next quarter would be between $50bn and $53bn, below the $58bn it reported for the same period a year ago. This would mark the company's first fall in revenues since it launched the iPhone.

蘋果方面還表示，下一個財政季度的營收預計爲500億到530億美元之間，將會低於去年同期的580億美元。這有可能是蘋果手機自推出以來首次出現的營收下滑。

Despite iPhone sales being below the 75 million expected by analysts, it was still a record quarter for the company.

儘管第一季度iPhone銷量低於分析師預期的7500萬部，但仍然創造了該公司本季度的記錄。

Apple revenue in the three months to 26 December was $75.9bn and net profit was $18.4bn, both of which are the highest ever recorded by the company.

截止到12月26日前的第四財政季度，蘋果公司的收入爲759億美元，淨收益爲184億美元，這兩項都達到了公司有史以來的最高記錄。

Apple boss Tim Cook credited "all-time record sales of iPhone, Apple Watch and Apple TV" for the performance. The firm's chief financial officer, Luca Maestri, said the company was operating in "a very difficult macroeconomic environment".

蘋果首席執行官蒂姆·庫克表示自己相信“蘋果手機、智能手錶和蘋果電視在銷量上一直以來的”表現。而蘋果公司財務總監盧卡·馬斯特里表示公司現在在不景氣的宏觀經濟環境下運營。
