Apple has reported a decline in sales of the iPhone for the first time in the smartphone’s history.

Apple analysts predicted this week that the tech giant would report its first-ever drop in sales on Tuesday night as they warned that the iPhone 7 did not have enough ‘attractive selling points’ to beat out its rivals.

The tech giant said today it had sold 51.2million iPhones in the first three months of 2016.

This was down on the 61million sold a year earlier.

Revenues fell short of expectations to $50.6billion (£34.7).

First their watch sorta bombed and now this. About damn time!

China was ragging on them yesterday... Seems as they are country benefiting from the manufacturing jobs, you'd think they'd be a little gentler..

maybe they will up the game now , faster phones that htc or samsung and start doing better cameras etc

I guess in Apple scale it was, yes. They haven't released actual numbers for a while now for the watch for the sakes of keeping up appereances.

I guess people are finally waking up to not want the same underpowered "revolutionary innovations" re-packed year after year with ever growing prices.
