Apple today announced financial results for its fiscal 2022 first quarter ended C 25, 2021. The Company posted an all-time revenue record of $123.9 billion, up 11 percent year over year, and quarterly earnings per diluted share of $2.10.
If record-breaking quarters can be boring, Apple’s recent results qualify. From Apple’s statements of operations for the quarter (PDF), the most interesting year-over-year change I noticed was the divergence between Mac and iPad net sales:
| Q1 2022 | Q1 2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone | $71.63 | $65.60 | 
| Mac | $10.85 | $8.68 | 
| iPad | $7.25 | $8.44 | 
| Wearables, Home, Accessories | $14.70 | $12.97 | 
| Services | $19.52 | $15.76 | 
| Total net sales | $123.95 | $111.44 | 
Last year Mac and iPad were very close to even. This year, Mac sales were up 25%, and iPad down 14%. That’s not surprising given the hardware releases last year: a good but uneventful year for iPads vs. the single most transformative year for Mac hardware ever.
