Apple’s plan to push iPhone sales into positive territory for 2017 has stalled, with sales taking a surprise dip.

iPhone sales of 50.8 million means a 1 percent unit drop year-on-year, and a whopping 35 percent drop compared to the previous quarter. That sounds pretty bad, but as I pointed out earlier this week, expectations weren’t all that strong to begin with, with analysts predicting sales in the region of 50 million to 54 million, or a year-on-year of -2.14 percent to 5.48 percent, with the average being around the 52.2 million mark.

Apple missed the average for sure, but it kept them above 50 million.

Put another way, this was Apple’s seventh strongest iPhone quarter to date. But it was the worst second quarter drop compared to the first quarter, and suggests that either interest in the new iPhone is waning, or people are holding out for the much-talked-about new iPhone due to land in September.

But a miss is a miss, and it comes at a time when all eyes are on iPhone sales, and it means that the pressure is on Apple to turn things around.

As far as iPad sales go, 8.9 million is pretty dismal. Above Avalon analyst Neil Cybart had predicted sales in the ballpark of 9.1 million, or a year-on-year decline of 11 percent, so the year-on-year decline of 13 percent is bad, but it still fell into the expected range of 8.5 million to 9.5 million.

And let’s face it, no one was expecting this to be a stellar iPad quarter, given that the new iPad/price cut stimulus package won’t kick in until the quarter’s earnings.

Things are better when they come to the Mac, with year-on-year sales up 4 percent. What’s more surprising is that year-on-year revenue jumped by a whopping 14 percent.

But the real surprise is the Apple Watch, while Apple doesn’t break out numbers for this device, it is possible to make educated guesstimates as to the strength of sales. Using estimates drawn up by Cybart, who assumes accessory sales of $1.5 billion and an Apple Watch average selling price of $365, the reported “Other Products” revenue of $2.87 billion translates into Apple Watch sales of around 3 million.

It seems that reports of this being a dead or dying product have been greatly exaggerated.
