 Good morning! Here is the tech news you need to know this Friday. 1. Apple reported its Q1 earnings on Thursday, in which it announced that it sold fewer iPhones, but made more profits than ever: $20.1 billion (£14 billion). It sold 77.3 million iPhones, a small declined of 0.9% on this time last year. It also sold 13.2 million iPads, up 1% year-over-year (YoY), and 5.1 million Macs, down 5% YoY. 2. Alphabet, Google's parent company, reported a $32.3 billion (£22.6 billion) revenue in its Q4 earnings, up 24% YoY, but suffered a $3 billion (£2.1 billion) net loss due to a $9.9 billion (£6.9 billion) tax charge. Google missed analyst expectations. 3. Amazon beat Wall Street's expectations for its Q4 earnings, with $60.5 billion (£42.4 billion) in revenue, up 38% YoY.
