Apple today reported for the first quarter of the 2021 fiscal year. We have already talked about the record revenue, which exceeded 110 billion dollars, but the report contains significantly more interesting information.
For example, operating revenue grew 31% to $ 33.5 billion, while net income was $ 28.8 billion, up 29% from a year ago.
IPhone sales rose 17% to $ 65.6 billion. Recall that we are talking about growth in monetary terms, since Apple has not indicated quantitative indicators for a long time.
Mac sales jumped from $ 7.2 billion to $ 8.7 billion, while tablet sales hit $ 8.4 billion, 40% more than a year earlier! Sales of wearable electronics and accessories reached $ 12.97 billion against $ 10 billion a year earlier, and services brought Apple 15.76 billion against 12.7 billion a year ago.
Of the rest, it is worth noting the growth in sales of the company in China: from 13.6 to 21.3 billion dollars, that is, by 57%!

Why overpay for smartphones with 5G? On the example of the Samsung Galaxy A14, you can see that we are talking about a huge difference in performance.

The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G smartphone was introduced at the beginning of the month, but the company is preparing a more affordable version with 4G support. And today we have all the main characteristics of this model and images.
The design of the younger version will be the same, except that instead of brown it will be silver. Many characteristics will also not change, although there will still be differences.
The main thing, of course, is the platform. Instead of the latest Exynos 1330, MediaTek Helio G80 is used. Compared to the Exynos 850 in the Galaxy A13 4G, this is certainly a very significant improvement. For comparison, the Exynos 850 scores about 145,000 points in AnTuTu 9, while the Helio G80 scores 230,000 points. True, the same Exynos 1330 is gaining more than 410,000 points, so the difference between the A14 4G and 5G versions in performance is enormous.
The screen of the Galaxy A14 4G will retain the size of 6.6 inches, Full HD + resolution, but there will be no increased frame rate, like the A14 5G. The battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh, the main 50-megapixel camera, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of flash memory will also remain, but charging will be only 10-watt. But the smartphone will receive stereo speakers.
The novelty will be released at the end of March. In Eastern Europe, they will ask for 200 euros for it.
