Apple sales (By Sylodium, international trade directory)

Apple, computer and smartphone maker has lost market forecasts with its first-quarter results, despite racking up sales of $54.5 billion (£34.4bn). The figures fell short of analysts’ forecasts of $55bn, sending shares in the group behind the iPad and iPhone down as much as 10 per cent, wiping some $50bn off its market value. Earnings of $13.1bn remained flat compared to the year before, marking the first time in years that the tech giant had not boasted double-digit increases in earnings. It came as Apple has become increasingly beleaguered amid speculation that demand for its flagship iPhone handset is shrinking in the face of stiff competition. Announced after the closing bell went at the Nasdaq blue-chip stock market, the numbers showed that Apple had shifted 47.8 million iPhones throughout the quarter.
