What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Apple Inc. guided for 9% to 11% revenue growth in its fiscal fourth-quarter, projecting revenue between $111.7 billion and $113.7 billion. The company noted that supply constraints on iPhones, Macs, and iPads may limit upside, while the guided gross margin dropped to 47% to 48% from 50.1% in the prior quarter. During an earnings call, CEO John Ternus discussed the new MacBook Pro, noting that its limited touch support is a secondary feature responding to specific customer demand.
