Apple says gaming slowdown and App Store changes hurt services growth

Apple says it has now topped 1.5 billion subscribers for its services business, up from 1 billion in January 2025. However, this segment of Apple’s business, which includes the Apple Store, AppleCare, music, video, and cloud services, was the only miss in what was otherwise a record-breaking quarter for the company’s hardware sales.

In Apple’s fiscal third quarter, the company reported $30.74 billion in services revenue, falling short of the $31.22 billion Wall Street analysts had expected. Combined with a miss in China, Apple’s stock tumbled over 4% in after-hours trading.
