<li>Apple reported FY1Q24 (CY4Q23) revenue of US$119.6bn (+2% YoY) and EPS of US$2.18 (+16% YoY), which are in line and 4% above consensus, mainly due to a favourable product mix and better leverage, despite weak China sales (- 12.9% YoY) and one less week of sales compared with last year.</li>
<li>For FY2Q24E, mgmt. expected overall revenue and iPhone sales to be both US$5bn less YoY due to a high base in CY1Q23 caused by iPhone supply constraints, while the service segment revenue should increase YoY at a similar double-digit growth rate compared with the Dec quarter.</li>
<li>Given Huawei’s comeback in China and a lack of foldable phones in 2024, we believe iPhone shipments will face challenges in the near term, and Apple may focus on improving its shipment mix towards higherend Pro models. </li>
