from $55.7 billion in 2019 to $99.8 billion in 2023. This represents a CAGR of
11.1%. 2016 45.69
Earnings per Share (EPS): Apple's EPS has grown from $3.06 in 2019 to $6.15

KEY DRIVERS OF GROWTH:
iPhone: The iPhone remains Apple's most important product, accounting for over half of its total
revenue. iPhone sales have grown steadily over the past five years, driven by strong demand for new
models like the iPhone 11, iPhone 12, and iPhone 13.
Services: Apple's services segment, which includes the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, and Apple Pay,
has been a major growth engine for the company. Services revenue has grown at a double-digit rate
over the past five years and now accounts for over 20% of total revenue.
Wearables: Apple's wearables segment, which includes the Apple Watch and AirPods, has also been a
strong performer. Wearables revenue has grown at a triple-digit rate over the past five years and now
accounts for over 10% of total revenue.
Overall, Apple has had a strong financial performance over the past five years. The company has
grown its revenue, net income, EPS, and stock price. The iPhone, services, and wearables segments
have been the key drivers of growth. However, Apple faces some challenges, such as supply chain
disruptions, macroeconomic headwinds, and competition. Despite these challenges, Apple is well-
positioned for continued growth in the years to come.
