Apple Q2 results beat estimates, set records, but guidance is flat
Apple beat estimates for its fiscal Q2 2023, but the results released late Thursday were decidedly uneven.
iPhone sales, services, and emerging markets were the quarter’s high spots, but Mac and iPad sales declined, and wearables seemed flat. Looking ahead, Apple officials predict a slight decline as long as the economic situation doesn’t deteriorate.
Apple beats expectations, but revenue falls
First, the numbers: Apple posted quarterly revenue of $94.8 billion, down 2.5% year over year with profits of $24.2 billion and earnings per share of $1.52.
This was ahead of analyst expectations of $93 billion in revenue and $22.6 billion in profits. (The company noted out that if currency rates had remained constant, it would have grown revenues by 3%.)

Researchers Develop New Tactile Technology That Could Enable a Pop-Up Keyboard on a Flat Smartphone Display
The technology could be used for tactile notifications, a pop-up keyboard that feels different under the fingers than the standard screen, buttons that remain inflated until pressed, pop-up custom-shaped buttons for controlling system functions, and more. One of the concepts demonstrated includes a pop-up music interface that displays raised music controls for playback, while another features a button on a smartphone that pulses up and down until it’s pressed.
Researchers developed a flat panel that’s using miniaturized hydraulic pumps to raise the surface through fluid. Each pump is individually controllable and can be activated separately to create dynamic, tactile bumps in a compact form factor.
The hardware is self-contained, lightweight, relatively slim at 5mm, and able to withstand the force of a normal touchscreen interaction.
At the current time, this is emergent technology that’s owned by Carnegie Mellon, but it isn’t hard to imagine future smartphones that use this kind of functionality. Apple has adopted haptic vibrations for touch-based feedback that’s used for notifications and other system feedback, but raised haptics would add another dimension to the display.
Apple could use this kind of technology for a device that folds flat but has a pop-out keyboard when in use, plus there are likely multiple accessibility use cases for those who have sight problems. It’s impossible to say whether this is functionality that we will see in Apple devices in the future, but it is an interesting concept.

We’re spoilt for choice with great phones; whether you’re after amazing performance, all-day battery life, or a great camera, the current market has you covered. Brand loyalty aside, a phone’s aesthetics and ergonomics are increasingly differentiators between models. One trend that still divides the masses is the case of straight versus curved edges.
It’s only April, and I’ve used a lot of smartphones this year, from the gargantuan Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra to the little Apple iPhone 14. But plowing through all these reviews, I’ve stumbled on the holy grail of the perfect screen curve – if there is such a thing?
