Apple warns of slower services growth as AI costs rise and memory shortages hit Mac and iPad shipments.

Apple forecasts slower growth in its services segment during the holiday quarter due to rising cloud-computing costs from Siri AI and memory shortages affecting Mac and iPad shipments. CEO John Ternus announced plans to introduce paid access for expanded AI features like Siri and intelligent photo editing, though pricing and launch dates remain unconfirmed. Despite a 10% increase in services revenue to $31.6 billion, Apple expects 8-9% growth next quarter, citing pressures from licensing and foreign exchange. Hardware sales showed mixed results with iPhone and Mac revenue up, but iPad and wearables down. Apple also launched Apple Pay in India, expanding its payment services globally.

Apple's stock price is down 4.70% on Pluang as of Nov 03, 2026 09:01 WIB, reflecting cautious investor sentiment amid slower services growth forecasts. The company holds a massive market cap of $5.03 trillion, underscoring its dominant position despite recent challenges. Trading volume remains high at over 67 million shares, indicating active market participation around this news.
