Apple has missed Wall Street estimates, seeing its largest quarterly revenue decline since 2016 in the new Q4 2022 earnings report.
 The company missed sales, profit, and revenue expectations.
 
 - Apple CEO Tim Cook said Apple's Q4 performance was hindered by three main factors: 
- The rise of the U.S. dollar's value,
 - iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max production issues in China
 - and the macroeconomic environment. 
 
  - Apple's adjusted earnings per share were $1.88 versus the $1.94 estimates.
 - Its overall revenue was $117.15B, a relatively large miss compared to the $121B estimates.
 - Apple's sales dropped by 5% compared to 2021, the largest YoY drop since 2019.
 - The
 California-based company stated that its overall number of active 
devices now stands at 2 billion globally, up from 1.8 billion in 2021.
 - The company's share price dropped by 4% in extended trading after the earnings report was published.
