Any hope that Apple's sleek iPhone X would drive oversized growth in iPhone shipments can be put to rest. Announcing its Q2 results, Apple said it shipped 52.2 million iPhones in the March period, the first full quarter of iPhone X availability. That's 3 percent year-over-year unit growth — hardly the "super cycle" of upgrades that many analysts had buzzed about; just three years ago, iPhone shipments were growing at 40 percent. Otherwise, the company's financials were fine — its "other products" category, which includes Apple Watch and AirPods, grew 38 percent year over year last quarter to nearly $4 billion. And Apple, which has been buying back shares like crazy, just launched another $100 billion repurchase program. [ Dan Frommer / Recode ]
