Apple reported quarterly revenue of $90.8 billion and EPS of $1.53, both of which were above expectations. However, revenue in Greater China was down by 8.1% and iPhone sales fell 10%. Apple did not provide formal guidance, but Apple CEO Tim Cook told CNBC’s Steve Kovach that overall sales would “grow low single digits” during the June quarter. Apple announced that its board had authorized $110 billion in share repurchases, a 22% increase over last year’s $90 billion authorization. It’s the largest in history, ahead of Apple’s previous repurchases, according to data from Birinyi Associates. Apple is the latest tech giant to announce a massive share buyback after $META and $GOOGL. We are on track to see over $1 trillion in share buybacks this year for the first time in history. Mixed earnings but buybacks are all the market wants.

According to a Financial Times analysis of hundreds of LinkedIn profiles as well as public job postings and research papers, the $2.7tn company has undertaken a hiring spree over recent years to expand its global AI and machine learning team. The iPhone maker has particularly targeted workers from Google, attracting at least 36 specialists from its rival since it poached John Giannandrea to be its top AI executive in 2018. While the majority of Apple’s AI team work from offices in California and Seattle, the tech group has also expanded a significant outpost in Zurich. Professor Luc Van Gool from Swiss university ETH Zurich said Apple’s acquisitions of two local AI start-ups — virtual reality group FaceShift and image recognition company Fashwell — led Apple to build a research laboratory, known as its “Vision Lab”, in the city.
