iPhone sales beat expectations, and though things may look bad for the iPad business, there’s strong demand for Apple Watch, the Mac lineup is raking in more than ever, and services will be big enough to be its own Fortune 100 company by the end of the year.

Killian Bell: Slowing iPhone growth isn’t entirely Apple’s fault. Sure, recent upgrades haven’t been overly exciting, but the smartphone market has become incredibly saturated in recent years, and no company is seeing substantial growth
— especially not in the U.S. But the iPhone 8 will be huge
Luke: So, just to be clear, you’re conceding that Apple isn’t going to have another boom period like it did a decade ago? Like a lot of what we’ve seen under Tim Cook’s leadership of Apple, I think we’ll see slight incremental increases in earnings, although it seems pretty clear that Apple’s not in a position to make up for any decline in iPhone sales.
Killian: I think it would be silly to say Apple’s going to blow up again like it did in the mid-2000s. It’s a heck of a lot easier to have a “boom period” when you’re small; not so much for the world’s most valuable company. Having said that, you never know what’s around the corner with Apple.
