1
Each week on Quarters, we sit with public earnings calls and listen for the human part.
2
These calls are long, mostly numbers and caution language, but every once in a while a person leaks through or tries to.
3
Sometimes the leak is a catchphrase.
4
Sometimes it's a goodbye that almost pretends it isn't one.
5
I'm Terry and today, Apple, Tim Cook.
6
July 30th, his last earnings call as CEO.
7
He opens like a man who still has one more game to win.
8
Today, Apple is pleased to report $109.4 billion in revenue, up 16% from a year ago and a June quarter record.
9
We were able to achieve this despite supply constraints and sequential foreign exchange headwinds.
10
We continue to see enormous customer enthusiasm for our most popular
11
lineup ever with iPhone revenue growing 22% from a year ago to reach a June quarter record.
12
We saw so much excitement around the best Mac lineup we've ever had, growing a strong 29% to achieve a June quarter revenue record.
13
Services also set a June quarter record with $30.7 billion in revenue.
14
109.4, best June they've ever had.
15
iPhone up 22, Mac up 29, services another record.
16
That's a freaking parade of results.
17
And after hours, Wall Street looked at the guide.
18
Second, we expect the impact from supply constraints to increase significantly sequentially.
19
The projected supply constraints in the September quarter affect iPhone, Mac, and iPad.
20
As a result, we expect our September quarter total company revenue to grow between 9 and 11 percent year over year.
21
Supply constraints, growth cooling to something like 9 to 11 percent and the stock slipped roughly 6-7 percent.
22
Throughout all of it, we will remain guided by our North Star,
23
building the best products and services to enable people to do magical things.
24
It's a special privilege to be part of people's lives in lasting and meaningful ways, helping them to create, connect, and experience the world around them.
25
I couldn't be more excited to watch our phenomenal story of innovation continue to unfold.
26
And I've never been more confident that the best is yet to come.
27
The quick and ugly.
28
Revenue $109.4 billion.
29
Beat June quarter record.
30
EPS $2.02.
31
Up pretty hard.
32
That includes about 11 cents from tariff refunds.
33
Gross margin over 50% with that refund help.
34
Installed base, over two and a half billion active devices.
35
September guide, revenue growth, 9% to 11%, soft versus what the street wanted.
36
Because FX and mostly supply, he wins the quarter.
37
And so we've got a quarter that we're going to be scrambling on the supply side, essentially.
38
The parts department writes the next sentence.
39
That's the episode.
40
Okay, so the antagonist isn't nobody wants an iPhone.
41
The antagonist is physics and dram.
42
He says the quiet part with Tim Cook manners.
43
Demand ran hotter than even their high expectations.
44
iPhone and Mac remarkably better.
45
They're scrambling.
46
Memory is a hundred year flood.
47
And then if you look beyond September, we see the market pricing for memory continuing to increase,
48
which could drive an increasing impact on our business, and we're continuing to evaluate this.
49
We could actually end it on the chips.
50
We won't.
51
Before questions, he does the thing you can't put in a spreadsheet.
52
Final earnings call, John will lead these going forward.
53
Never been more optimistic.
54
Tim is now a man putting his coat on the back of the chair and thanking the room.
55
Analysts start the Q&A by saying goodbye back.
56
Tim, best of luck.
57
It's been a pleasure working with you over the years.
58
Tim, congratulations on the extraordinary run.
59
Obviously, Tim, I've known you a long time.
60
I really miss you.
61
Which is weirdly tender for a phone full of people who argue about basis points for a living.
62
John Turnus is on the call, hardware guy, takes over September 1st. Somebody finally asks him about the competitive landscape,
63
open AI devices, weird phone rumors, the whole circus.
64
That's it, that's the incoming CEO on the most historic Apple earnings call in years.
65
So much opportunity, focused on our plans, very excited.
66
Yes, I think there are enormous opportunities for Apple moving forward in AI.
67
And, you know, I'm so excited about Siri AI and kind of where it is and where it's going.
68
And I'm excited about the feedback that we're getting there.
69
And of course, the ability to run some percentage of requests on device is also very strategic
70
and sort of a competitive weapon, if you will.
71
If Tim does a novel, then John does a fortune cookie.
72
Reiterate what Tim said, there is so much opportunity for us with everything that's happening in this space.
73
And so we're just really focused on our plans and very excited about it.
74
Quirk of the quarter.
75
An analyst points out when Tim joined as CEO in 2011,
76
Apple did about $108 billion in revenue for the year.
77
Hi, yes.
78
Thank you.
79
Tim, first, congrats on your tenure as CEO.
80
You joined back in 2011 when Apple reported $108 billion in revenue,
81
and you just delivered a quarter of $109 billion.
82
So just an amazing journey.
83
I don't know what to do with that except sit with it.
84
Same number, different planet, thing that actually means something, the business plainly.
85
Apple's machine still prints desire.
86
iPhone cycle hot macbook neo and pro pulling services big even
87
if a little shy of the dream capex stays relatively light
88
versus the hyperscaler arms race that's been part of the stock story
89
and then tim the human ending i'm going to be gentle
90
here this isn't the zuck episode tim cook does not sound
91
on this call like a man performing certainty he doesn't feel
92
he sounds like a man who already decided the hand off is the point
93
and use the last microphone of the job to bless the next guy
94
and thank the weird little congregation of shareholders
95
and analysts who show up every 90 days to be honest
96
tim kind of sounded like the principal at graduation proud careful
97
already halfway down the hallway as you know this will be my final earnings call
98
and john will lead these calls going forward the transition is going seamlessly
99
and I am beyond excited for John to step into his new role and lead Apple into its next era.
100
He is truly one of a kind and there is no better person to take the helm of the company.
101
As I've said, I couldn't be more confident in his leadership, in our executive team,
102
and in the extraordinary people at Apple who are determined to enrich the lives of our users all over the world.
103
That's the character this week, not a ticker, a throat saying goodbye without making a scene.
104
I'm Terry.

Das Szenario: Ein unternehmerischer Abschied mit Zahlen und Emotionen
In der Videoaufzeichnung von Tim Cooks letztem Earnings Call als Apple-CEO wird ein spannendes Szenario für Englischlerner sichtbar: eine Mischung aus Geschäftskommunikation, Zahlenberichterstattung und emotionalem Abschied. Solche realen Situationen helfen, Englisch in kontextueller Anwendung zu lernen – nicht nur Wörter, sondern auch die Art, wie Profis komplexe Informationen vermitteln und Emotionen ausdrücken.
Nützliche Chunks & Collocations: Redewendungen, die man merken sollte
- "supply constraints" – Lieferengpässe (häufig in Geschäftsgesprächen verwendet, um Engpässe in der Produktion zu beschreiben)
- "foreign exchange headwinds" – Devisenhemmnisse (ein technischer Begriff für negative Auswirkungen von Währungsänderungen)
- "installed base" – installierte Basis (bezieht sich auf die Anzahl aktiver Geräte, ein Schlüsselbegriff in der Tech-Branche)
- "revenue growth" – Umsatzwachstum (zentral in Finanzberichten, um die Entwicklung des Umsatzes zu beschreiben)
- "North Star" – Leitstern (metaphorisch für eine zentrale Leitvorstellung, die Entscheidungen lenkt)
Diese Chunks helfen, schnell verständlich und professionell zu sprechen – ein Muss für alle, die Englisch in beruflichen Kontexten üben wollen.
Deine Shadowing-Herausforderung: Verbessere deine Aussprache und Flüssigkeit
Um Englische Aussprache zu verbessern und flüssiger zu werden, nutze das shadowspeak-Verfahren: Höre den Abschnitt von Tim Cook, in dem er die Ergebnisse ankündigt ("Today, Apple is pleased to report..."), und wiederhole ihn sofort nach, so nah wie möglich an seiner Intonation, Tempo und Betonung. Wiederhole dies 5–10 Mal. Achte darauf, wie er lange Sätze strukturiert und Emotionen (z. B. Stolz auf die Ergebnisse) durch seine Stimme ausdrückt. Dieses Training hilft, Englisch sprechen zu üben und sich an natürliche Sprachmuster zu gewöhnen. Probier's jetzt – du wirst sehen, wie schnell du Fortschritte machst!
Grammatik in diesem Video
Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:
| Struktur | Im Video |
|---|---|
| Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig ist | we've ever had · they've ever had · I've never been |
| Relativsätze who / which + Satz – eine Zusatzinformation über eine Person oder Sache | man who still · people who argue · man who already |
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
