of china and is now buying a u.s. company for $2 billion. we will hear from executives later this hour. apple shares gaining after-hours with a sales slowdown that was not quite as bad as expected. back-to-backfirst quarterly sales declined since 2002 but actual iphone unit sales beat estimates coming in at 44.4 million. i spoke to the apple cfo who to a mix oft companies developed in emerging markets, something tim cook just reiterated on the earnings call. analysts our initial -- analysis says it is popular and sales going to customers new to iphone is greater than we have seen in the first week of

availability for other iphones launched in the last several years. emily: all of this building up to next quarter's report which part ofke up a small the sales for the i-27. joining me is ryan reese and ryan white from drexel hamilton. not quite as that as we expected in the coming quarter actually looks quite good, which means that west quarter was the low point? .uest: it seems like it there are some highlights and they are talking about pocket of opportunity in china. that market as a whole is basically flat in the are finding good opportunities. they highlighted some penetration into india and that is great because that has not been the easiest thing because of some legal issues. cheaper iphone is

finding new opportunities and you audience as well. earnings call, they are talking that augmented reality and tim cook says they are in the ring heavily there. want to talk about china and foreign exchange issues. they say it is clear the economy is going through difficult path that we look at the potential market offers for the long-term. pointed out that business in china is only down about 2%. or you worried about china are there positive signs and other countries around the world that are enough to offset that? guest: i'm not worried about china. the big thing we need to worry -- we need to member about china is growth has been significant. china mobile starting to ramp iphones and eight acre iphone with pent-up manned and expanding 4g networks. the comps were impossible, so

when you see a 33% decline year-over-year, we said 25% to 35%, so this is a normal sequential -- sequential change, but it is normal on a year over year basis. we are not concerned. emily: i want to talk about the iphone as a because the average selling price of the iphone has declined and the order, it dropped to $595, a sequential decline of $47. it peaked a couple of quarters ago and they said they were prepared for this because they launched the iphone sc in this corner and willing the channel to meet the demand and they singled out japan, western europe and thailand, turkey, india and russia. they don't want this to cannibalize their current

business and they say they are adding new users, but we don't know how many. product an important and they are going to take this initial drop. we estimated it accounted for roughly 20%, so that is strong. emily: can that grow? can grow.hink they i don't know if i see it going past one third of their shipments in a single quarter. a lot of that depends on how heavily they put marketing toward these and so forth but this is a strong initial launch and the obvious result of cheaper product is going to bring down the estate. annalee: is the success of a cheaper iphone a good or bad thing? guest: i think the great thing. the number of new users that are brings into the apple ecosystem, it does impact your unit market

share and with apple, there was gross margin guidance for the set timber order that was actually excellent. and when and even year you come on an even number, the declined by has over 200 basis points in the september quarter and they are guiding to down 25 basis points. they may come out with a higher and iphone as well. emily: i want to talk about the watch. in my call with the cfo, he did not mention it and we did not about it. is the watch doing well? estimatesput out our that it was roughly one .6 million in terms of volume. that is down significantly and coming off a year since the launch quarter.

that market is challenged and i think the reason is people are trying to find what is the use case and there's a lot of hype about the second-generation coming this fall. this is not apple alone facing these challenges. they are just trying to figure out what is the use case and what is the demand for wearables in general. ands competing with iphones other smart phone devices. something that they talked about with their investment in the chinese made a of uber, apple huge investment and analysts are trying to make sense of that investment. take a listen to what tim cook had to say about it. cook: we see it is a great financial investment. we think there are some strategic things the companies can do together over time, and we think we will learn a lot about the and the chinese market

even beyond what we currently know and we have an incredible team there. that is the rationale for why we did it. emily: strategic things the .ompany can do together what does that mean? >> they have a huge interest in the automobile market. i think they are hinting at something in that area. just understanding what the china consumer is all about that they don't understand right now has potential, but i think it speaks to potential for the car for sure. >> tim cook mentioned sales in india are of over 51% and they are opening their first retail store. of 7% and sales of the ipad pro apparently of going to businesses. if they can get any

access to what consumers are doing in china, just have a better understanding, that is huge. in terms of india, they have finally broken ground and it will be interesting to see what the consumer reception is to china as a whole. much like many pockets of china, it's much lower than even their introductory offerings. the ipad pro did the opposite of what happened with iphone and drove things up pretty significantly. directionsdifferent now for iphone and ipad because of these new products. specifically singling out improvement on the music streaming side of things. if there is one challenge you are watching, what is the biggest challenge to mark guest: one of the concerns that is out there is the up great rate with consumers in the smartphone

market has lengthened. i think what investors are missing here is we grew iphone 37% in 15 and we are monitoring a decline of 11%. that is about 13% growth over two years, so that slow down is really just comps. so you will see growth return in 17. some people are looking at this klein, saying the cycle is elongated and this is big trouble for apple. it holds back a little bit of sales, but that is not the story. how long is the upgrade cycle? emily: we will be watching to see how big that am from the iphone seven is. thank you. coming up, twitter getting slammed in extended trading on a dismal forecast. we will give you the numbers, next. and among the biggest tech movers -- linear technology

surging after bloomberg was first to report a pending deal for analog devices to buy the company. that deal was confirmed for $60 a share. this is bloomberg. ♪

emily: another stock we are watching -- verizon. the carrier added fewer subscribers and analysts predict it. verizon is buying yahoo! assets for $4.8 billion in focused on finding new revenues through ad sales. the ceo explains the goal becoming a major competitor in the mobile media arena today. >> the next works and their

sports channels see an opportunity to partner with us. they may already have nba or nfl rights and can work on streaming their games, not only through the traditional channels of bios or full bundles, but over aol and yahoo! and over golf 90. as a waterfall of content moving through our different properties. emily: investors are focused on how verizon will pay to scale up to the likes of google and facebook. verizon already has about 100 ilion dollars debt to pay down. twitter shares plunging in extended trading after the company released earnings, down as much as 12 are sent. the company need second quarter earnings-per-share estimates are ported a big miss for it third-quarter revenue. by a wide margin.

the closely watched number of act of users edged, but will it the enough to boost ad revenue going forward? -- tog us is and analysts analysts. users growing slowly and that is a number we have been watching quarter after order, but now they are having numbers -- they're having problem with revenue. has to leadgement monetization and it is to remember twitter, their latest efforts are on services growing. improving user engagement is more critical and if their latest by streaming at 70 and captures the market, then they may have fewer eyeballs, but the quality of those eyeballs as more and. you will have longer viewing and

singlescreen viewing with the marrying of tv screens with mobile devices. there may be fewer ads with the polity of the ads will improve and advertisers are willing to pay a bigger price tag and we see this across the broader digital advertising system where light touch is inferior to customer engagement and advertisers are willing to spend more money. so the economics are changing for twitter. emily: let's take a look at how the stock is trading, down about 10.5%. drops. one of the bigger investors are still not happy. it is quite unfortunate. we use it as an avid user constantly and we gave twitter

the benefit of the doubt and downgraded the stock two weeks ago because we are just not sure it's there. seeing isre cannibalization of the revenue with new products cannibalizing you have tocts and understand that a trying to be niche or are they trying to go mass-market? if they are, at what cost is it going to come? right now, we have jack dorsey strategicallyd it does not make sense to operate as an independent company or part of a larger organization for in our view, you think twitter could have a nice home in a company like disney where ory relationships converge especially on microsoft. since that's interesting microsoft just bought lead-in

for $26 billion. is there a company out there would pay the price for twitter? guest: i think twitter has a lot of work to do getting her house in order before they put on the market. they are currently trying to fix their problem with a band-aid and their latest ad campaign. they announced yesterday that they have 90% local brand recognition, but most don't understand what is twitter for and how do i use it? there's a big gap between what twitter is hoping to deliver, which is a real-time social media commentary plat for which is what believe it is, a substitute for facebook. need to fix their platform and user experience and deliver on their promise of a real-time media experience and conversation before there can be any discussion about who to sell to.

week: this is the second twitter is live streaming the convention and they have deals to live stream nfl games and bloomberg television shows, including this show, but facebook is making huge inroads into life. take a listen to what jack dorsey said about the improvements they are making toward slow and they progress. growthhat makes audience border notable as we can see only between the product changes we made and our growth. we are making the right decisions on our products and it gives us a foundation for future growth. though twitter is making these changes, they have not had dramatic results yet. do you think facebook threatens the stronghold twitter has had on life? platformthink every

threatens their stronghold, whether it is facebook, snapchat or google. there's a lot of big scale players with a lot better measurement capabilities able to attract the budgets they are having difficulty attracting currently. that is why we think twitter does make sense as part of a larger organization and when you think about things they are trying to do, it's a lot of nonexclusive content. it is challenging to differentiate yourself in a way you are a consumer thinking that the cost for five different forms, why should i go to twitter? everyone knows what twitter is as far as its liberation of tweets across the world and donald trump has helped in that regard. dailytimately, becoming a user, which is at the core of monetizing the service is a far greater challenge and that's why i think it's going to cost a lot of money to differentiate

yourself in a way to attract that must the content and be able to operate independently on a long-term basis. unfortunately, we have to stay on the sidelines. thank you both. we will continue to watch. mobile i fell after they say their driver assistant technology will no longer be in test vehicles. take a listen. >> our work with tesla will not extend beyond q3. parkintain the tesla wines, including a significant upgrade of several functions that affects our ability to respond to crash avoidance and optimize steering without any hardware up dates. forward, it, moving

what is the mood on the floor right now? guest: the mood on the floor is quite different than yesterday. we saw a lot of bernie sanders blowing off steam yesterday, a very better and hard primary. the bernie sanders campaign did extra nearly well but came up short by about 3.8 million votes. hillary clinton was the clear winner and about a moment or so she will be nominated and inocrats will make history the wells fargo arena by being the first american party, first major party to nominate a woman. hillary clinton will be the democratic nominee for the we have known this june when she unofficially clinched the nomination. she needs to hit 2383 votes and that should be happening any moment now. emily: we are just a few votes away and hillary clinton is not even there. she is on the road but her

husband, former president bill clinton will be speaking tonight. talk to me about this idea of unity. do much more work is left to over the next couple of days and the next weeks and months? guest: the democrats have made a lot of strides toward unity after bernie sanders through his word to hillary clinton and he gave a rousing speech last night, enthusiastically and unequivocally endorsing hillary clinton. we have seen bernie sanders supporters who say they do intend rise from 50% to about 85% in last month or so. there is still work to be done because emotions are running high and passion are still wrong and the bernie sanders delegates believe they should have won this nomination. it's going to take some time to cool off but hillary clinton campaign is not trying to interfere or battle them. they are letting the chips fall

where they may and letting the delegates have their moment on the floor and say what they need to say. emily: we are just three votes a way to get to that magic number. ofnie sanders'home state vermont will put them over the top. what do we expect to hear from hillary clinton's husband, her partner of four decades? guest: bill clinton will serve as the ultimate character witness for his wife. there is a side to hillary clinton voters do not see when the cameras not on. her public persona is not the same person that people who know her very well know. she is not well known or trusted by the public and we will hear from bill clinton why she should be trusted and why she is the right person to carry the torch and be the nominee. why she has the chops and

qualifications, perhaps even more qualified than he was to be the next president of the united states. : it will be an incredibly important speech, especially given the issues she is having around likability and trustworthiness. we are watching the votes coming in from the floor and it looks like we are there. 2382 votes. hillary clinton now the first woman nominee for a major u.s. party -- i just want to take a moment to bask in the importance of this. it has been 100 years since women were afforded the right to vote and it has taken a century to get to this point, not counting the century before that. talk to me about the importance of what this means. guest: 240 years of american history and never been woman nominated.

hillary clinton has a ways to go to become president, but this is an iconic moment any country's history and the glass ceiling hillary clinton talked about, putting 18 million cracks in 2008. she lost by a hair to barack obama and in a show of solidarity and she is richer delegates to support him on the floor. bernie sanders did not do that for the had his delegates vote for him but there was a lot of unity between them at the end and they are working together to bring the party and for women, for american women, this is a powerful moment that nobody in this arena is going to forget. cheers behind me is audible. i can hear it through the headphones right now. emily: hillary clinton becomes the very first woman to be nominated for the office of president by either the democrat or republican party. our an exciting moment in

of the company and then owns a stake in the company that developed the game. investors want to understand how it is going to get profits from the game and what the potential is going forward. there is an expectation nintendo withevelop similar games its own intellectual property and if it is able to do that and monetize those games, there could be a lot of potential. but analysts are confused about how it is going to benefit. what about new games they can introduce after this wave of nostalgia passes? guest: nintendo has a whole host of intellectual property that over then popular decades -- mario, donkey kong, games that have the potential to be deployed in new and mobile ways. makingpany has resisted smartphone games because they want to sell its consoles because best but now it is
